PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a configuration capable of easily realizing user's management of the number of prints without using any special communication method.SOLUTION: An image formation unit 5 prints an image on a print sheet. A print counter 8 calculates a total number of prints printed by the image formation unit 5. A user inputs an image print command to an operation unit 2. A first communication unit 14 can transmit a value of the print counter 8 to a print-count management server 24. The print control unit 10 controls the image formation unit 5 to execute printing in accordance with generated print target data. A mode switch unit 11 is switchable between an operable mode in which the operation unit 2 receives user's input and an inoperable mode in which the operation unit 2 does not receive the user's input. In the operable mode, the print control unit 10 does not print a plurality of predetermined print target data. |
