摘要

An image forming system includes plural image forming apparatuses. The image forming system includes the following elements. A first communication unit of each image forming apparatus communicates with at least another one of the plural image forming apparatuses. A second communication unit communicates with a terminal device. An image forming unit forms an image on a medium. A storage unit stores liaison information which defines liaison concerning an operation between each of the plural image forming apparatuses and at least another one of the plural image forming apparatuses. A notifying unit notifies the terminal device of the liaison information in response to an inquiry from the terminal device. A receiving unit receives specified image data and liaison information from the terminal device. An execution unit executes image formation on the basis of the received image data by using the image forming unit of one of the plural image forming apparatuses.
