Abstract: A monitoring device for an image forming device receives from the image forming device usage information indicating a history of manipulations by a user and reduction information indicating that the image forming device is operating in a reduction mode. When having received reduction information, the monitoring device determines the priority of maintenance work on a function the provision of which has been halted indicated by the reduction information, registers the determined priority in a management table in association, and outputs the registered reduction information and associated priority. When the received usage information indicates a manipulation with respect to a function the provision of which has been halted indicated by the received reduction information, the priority corresponding to the reduction information is determined to be relatively higher than when there is no manipulation with respect to the function the provision of which has been halted indicated by the received reduction information.

Abstract: A network system performs display control for displaying, on a display device, a monitoring screen using registration information and operational information on an image forming apparatus to be monitored. The display device displays a device list screen indicating a list of a plurality of image forming apparatuses to be monitored, and a failure list which is regularly updated without user operation. If an image forming apparatus is selected based on a user operation via the device list screen and details of the selected image forming apparatus is to be displayed, a detailed screen is displayed using the operational information. If failure information is selected via a user operation from the failure list which is regularly updated, a detailed screen on the failure information of the image forming apparatus in which the failure indicated by the selected failure information has occurred is displayed using the operational information.

Thus, problems experienced by the user or the administrator of the monitoring host in managing the log-in/account and a password are minimized.

Abstract: In an image forming apparatus capable of communicating with a monitoring device for monitoring the operating states of a plurality of image forming apparatuses, the operating amount of a part is detected, information about the operating amount is stored in relation to the part, and the stored information is sent to the monitoring device, the first consumed level of the part, which is calculated by the monitoring device based on the sent information, is acquired, and the acquired first consumed level is output in relation to the part. The second consumed level is calculated based on the stored information. When the first consumed level is acquired from the monitoring device, the first consumed level is output. When the first consumed level cannot be acquired from the monitoring device, the calculated second consumed level is output.
