<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming apparatus monitor system which reduces an installing operation burden for image forming apparatuses including settings relating to monitoring apparatus. <P>SOLUTION: In the image forming apparatus monitor system, when a multi-function machine determines that it is not registered in the image forming apparatus monitor system, the multi-function machine searches for a monitoring apparatus 105 which matches the multi-function machine, selects the monitoring apparatus 105 which to be monitored based on monitoring apparatus information acquired from the searched monitoring apparatus 105, when receiving a notification of the start of monitoring from the selected monitoring apparatus 105, the multi-function machine stores the notification in a storage area as registration completion information. On the other hand, the monitoring apparatus 105 transmits monitor request information received from the multi-function machine to a monitoring host 101 and starts monitoring the multi-function machine when determining from the result of the monitor request that registration of the multi-function machine in the monitoring host is completed. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2006,JPO&NCIPI |
