PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To notify a user that changing a layout can suppress power consumption of the whole system.SOLUTION: An image formation device can mutually communicate with another image formation device via a network and can execute an operation for maintaining the quality of an image. In the image formation device, a controller acquires environment information and specification information on the image formation device (S02), and obtains total power consumption information when each image formation device executes the operation, for each layout candidate of each image formation device on the basis of the acquired environment information and specification information (S04). The controller selects a layout candidate having the minimum total power consumption information from the obtained information as an optimum layout (S04). A user is notified of the optimum layout. |
