Abstract
An image forming system that allows communication with a tally service server over a network, comprises: an image forming device configured to execute a job; and a control device which applies a setting configured by a user to the image forming device, and causes the image forming device to execute the job with applying the setting. The control device includes: a setting value arranging part configured to arrange setting values of multiple setting items relating to the job in a predetermined order and combining into one piece, thereby generating setting value array information; a tally information generating part configured to generate tally information in which at least one piece of the setting value array information generated by the setting value arranging part is set as one tally item; and a transmission part configured to send the tally information generated by the tally information generating part to the tally service server.
