PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming apparatus, a printing instruction device and an image formation system for improving convenience and an energy-saving property of the entire image formation system with a plurality of image forming apparatuses from a viewpoint of temperature of a fixation part.SOLUTION: In the case that a printing scheduled device which is an MFP scheduled to execute printing instructed by portable equipment among a plurality of MFPs including the MFP itself is the MFP itself, the MFP waits for the execution of the printing (S165) when the temperature of a fixation part of the MFP itself exceeds a specific temperature (NO in S169), and the distance between the MFP itself and the portable equipment exceeds a specific distance (NO in S170), and while the MFP is waiting for the execution of the printing, when the temperature of the fixation part of an MFP which is distant from the portable equipment by the specific distance or less among the plurality of MFPs exceeds the specific temperature (YES in S168), switches the printing scheduled device to the MFP (S171), and instructs the printing to the printing scheduled device after the switching (S173). |
