A management device for an image processing apparatus includes a communication interface and a hardware processor. The communication interface transmits and receives a job to be executed in the image processing apparatus. Before transmission and reception of a job, the hardware processor transmits data on a communication path of the job for measuring a communication speed to obtain information representing a communication speed of a communication path for the job transmitted and received by the communication interface, and sets a timeout time of an image processing apparatus that executes the job, based on the obtained information representing a communication speed.
