Abstract: An image processing system includes an image processing apparatus and a server, wherein the image processing apparatus includes: an image forming part; a first hardware processor that executes machine learning related to determination of a predetermined control parameter value of the image forming part; and a communication part that transmits a learning model after the machine learning as a tentatively determined learning model to the server, the server includes a second hardware processor that determines pass or fail of a standard test with a control parameter selected by the tentatively determined learning model, and transmits a result of the pass or fail to the image processing apparatus, and the image processing apparatus further includes a third hardware processor that updates the tentatively determined learning model in accordance with a result of the pass or fail, to set as a learning model to be executed in the image processing apparatus.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus transporting sheets of paper at a predetermined interval and forming an image on the sheets has, as modes for controlling the predetermined interval, a first mode of suspending a next paper feeding operation, for a predetermined time and for every predetermined number of sheets of paper and a second mode of expanding the interval of transportation between the paper feeding operations while continuing the transportation. The image forming apparatus decides whether a predefined first condition for starting control of the interval is satisfied during normal printing, determines a mode of the control in response to a decision that the condition is satisfied, and performs the control in the determined mode. The image forming apparatus calculates power consumption in each mode from the decision that the condition is satisfied to completion of uncompleted printing, and selects a mode in which the power consumption is relatively lower.
