The image formation system 10 of the invention includes an image formation device 20 that forms an image on a medium and a portable device 80 that receives and sends information carried on electromagnetic waves in a preset frequency band. In the image formation system 10, the image formation device receives identification information of the portable device by the electromagnetic waves in the preset frequency band sent from the portable device 80 and is activated to be ready for image formation. Simple transmission of the identification information of the portable device activates the image formation device to be ready for image formation. The arrangement of this system 10 is accordingly suitable for access by the general public.
