Abstract:
An image forming system includes a print device, a print job accepting circuit, an interrupt permission circuit, and a distance acquisition circuit. The interrupt permission circuit permits the interrupt print with a count of paper sheets equal to or less than a count of printable sheets printed by the print device within an interruptible time that ensures execution of the interrupt print, within an acceptable extension time by which an extension of completion time of the interrupted print job is accepted. The interrupt permission circuit calculates the acceptable extension time based on a remaining count of printed sheets of the print job to be interrupted. The interrupt permission circuit calculates the interruptible time by at least reducing an arrival time taken to arrive at the printer for the requester arrives at the print device based on a distance acquired by the distance acquisition circuit from the acceptable extension time.
