Abstract
Each of a plurality of image processing apparatuses notifies a management server that maintenance is to be executed. Upon receiving a response, the image processing apparatus disconnects communication to start maintenance. Upon the end of the maintenance, the image processing apparatus establishes communication to notify the management server of completion of the maintenance. The management server calculates the power consumption of the plurality of image processing apparatuses including a maintenance target apparatus so as not to be higher than preset total power by assuming that the maintenance target apparatus is operated at the maximum power consumption of the image processing apparatus. The management server sends, to the maintenance target apparatus, a permission notification for permitting the maintenance target apparatus to execute the maintenance, as a response to the notification.
