MANAGEMENT SYSTEM OF IMAGE FORMATION APPARATUS, IMAGE FORMATION APPARATUS OF IMAGE FORMATION MANAGEMENT SYSTEM, AND MANAGEMENT METHOD OF IMAGE FORMATION SYSTEM

摘要

PPROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a management system of an image formation apparatus, an image formation apparatus of an image formation management system, and a management method of an image formation system, for enabling precise and efficient maintenance by accurately grasping the jam-trouble occurrences. PSOLUTION: This invention includes an image formation counting step for counting the number of image formation times performed on recording paper, a jam counting step for counting the number of jam occurrence, and a time-counting step for counting the elapse of time under a jamming state (step S604); an alarm signal output step for outputting an alarm signal to a management device via a communication line (step S606) when the elapse of time under a jamming state exceeds a predetermined time (Yes in step S604) and outputting an alarm signal to the management device (step S606) when the elapse of time under a jamming state does not reach a predetermined time (No in step S604) and when a jam ratio, i.e., a ratio of the number of image formation times to the number of jamming times, is calculated and the calculated jam ratio reaches a predetermined occurrence ratio (Yes in step S607).
