Abstract:
An image forming apparatus connected to a first network has a log notification part that transmits a communication failure log in response to a connection from a computer connected to a second network. The communication failure log contains status information planned to be transmitted by an image forming apparatus that is connected to the first network, to a computer to which the image forming apparatus failed in a connection, or location designation data for designating a location in the first network where the status information is stored. The computer has a log receiving part for receiving the communication failure log transmitted from the image forming apparatus, and a status information notification part for transmitting the status information or the location designation data contained in the received communication failure log to other computers connected to the second network.
