Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a request-frequency calculating unit, an acceptable-frequency calculating unit, and acceptance/rejection determining unit. The request-frequency calculating unit calculates a request frequency corresponding to a processing request relating to image formation with reference to any one of multiple pieces of frequency information, which is broken down by process category of an image forming process and stored in a predetermined storage unit, selectively. The acceptable-frequency calculating unit calculates an acceptable frequency corresponding to the processing request from acceptable-processing-amount information stored in a predetermined storage unit. The acceptance/rejection determining unit determines whether or not to accept the processing request by comparing the request frequency with the acceptable frequency.
