An information processing apparatus which is capable of notifying a management server of only necessary information for the management server to perform its proper maintenance function, as information on the maintenance of an image forming apparatus after recovery of the management server, to thereby avoid the management server from performing processing more than necessary. A device information transmission and retransmission schedule controller transmits maintenance information including status information and cumulative counter information on an image forming apparatus to an information collecting server. A retransmission data storage section stores the status information and the cumulative counter information. Upon recovery from failure in communication with the server, the schedule controller transmits the status information collected in a plurality of timings and part of the cumulative counter information collected in a plurality of timings to the server. |
