Abstract: At least one of a plurality of image forming apparatuses in an image forming system is a report accepting image forming apparatus that accepts a last exit report. Upon accepting the last exit report, the report accepting image forming apparatus executes a last exit process and transmits, to any other of the plurality of image forming apparatuses in the image forming system listed on a list, a last exit notification including a command for commanding the any other of the plurality of image forming apparatuses to execute the last exit process so that the any other of the plurality of image forming apparatuses also executes the last exit process.

Abstract: A management server includes a communication unit configured to receive job data and transmit the job data to the image forming apparatus so that the image forming apparatus executes the job, and a registering unit. When the communication unit receives the job data containing account information, if it is determined that the account information contained in the job data satisfies the registration condition, the registering unit registers the account information contained in the job data. If it is determined that the registration condition is not satisfied, the registering unit does not register the account information contained in the job data.

Abstract: When installing a driver program on a terminal device of a user who joins a group to which an image forming apparatus supported by the driver program is assigned, a non-transitory recording medium for installation of the driver program causes a computer in the terminal device to display an operation screen including a first and a second operation element. When the first operation element is selected, the computer is caused to create a document box for the user and add membership information of the user to group management data managed by a predetermined server. When the second operation element is selected, the computer is caused to create the document box, identify an image forming apparatus assigned to a former group of the user with reference to the group management data, delete a document box from the identified image forming apparatus, and add the membership information to the group management data.

Abstract: A non-transitory computer readable recording medium stores an account management program. The account management program causes a computer in a mobile terminal apparatus to perform the steps of: receiving service table data from an image forming apparatus and storing the service table data in the mobile terminal apparatus; receiving account information required to use a service from a user; storing the account information in the mobile terminal apparatus so as to associate the account information with the service; receiving an identification code of the service when the user logs in the image forming apparatus, and storing the identification code in the mobile terminal apparatus so as to associate the identification code with the account information associated with the service; and receiving the identification code from the image forming apparatus when performing the service, and transmitting to the image forming apparatus the account information associated with the received identification code.
