PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To protect user's privacy beforehand. SOLUTION: This system is provided with a printer controller 2 for performing operation processing of image information from a host device 10 into information for printout, an engine controller 3 for controlling the operation of the entire device on the basis of the image information outputted from the controller 2 and timing information, and an output image forming means which is energized by the controller 3 to operate and prints out a prescribed image, and a nonvolatile storage device inside the output image forming means. The controller 2 is provided with a recording acceptance/rejection probing function for probing whether or not system utilization information in relation to the utilization situation of the system is recorded to the host device 10 and a utilization information recording function for following a command about the probing from the host device 10 and recording the system utilization information in the volatile storage device. |
