    Abstract: An image forming system includes: a transmission terminal; a reception terminal; and an image forming apparatus. The transmission terminal i) selects the reception terminal transmitting image data and outputs selection information, ii) receives terminal position information of the reception terminal and apparatus position information of the image forming apparatus, iii) acquires the terminal position information and the apparatus position information, vi) authenticates the reception terminal and the image forming apparatus based on the terminal position information and the apparatus position information, and outputs authentication information, and v) transmits job data based on the authentication information. The reception terminal i) acquires terminal position information based on the selection information, and ii) transmits the terminal position information. The image forming apparatus forms an image of the job data on a sheet.

    Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a lift plate, an actuator, a photosensor, and a controller. Paper is placed on the lift plate. The lift plate is driven to increase a first inclination angle in response to a decrease in a residual amount of the paper placed on the lift plate. The first inclination angle indicates an angle of inclination of the lift plate with respect to a horizontal plane. A second inclination angle indicating an angle of inclination of the actuator with respect to the horizontal plane increases in response to an increase in the first inclination angle. The actuator increases or decreases a transmitted light quantity along with an increase in the second inclination angle. The photosensor detects the transmitted light quantity. The controller calculates the residual amount of the paper on the basis of the transmitted light quantity.
