    摘要: A server for image forming apparatuses which calculates charges reasonable to both a service manager and a user, and a control method thereof is provided. The server for image forming apparatuses includes a server input unit to receive charging criteria of image forming apparatuses and a charging criterion of a virtual image forming apparatus, a server communication unit to receive information regarding output amounts from the image forming apparatuses, and a server control unit to generate the virtual image forming apparatus and to calculate charges of the image forming apparatuses according to the charging criterion of the virtual image forming apparatus, when the output amounts of the image forming apparatuses are less than basic output amounts of the charging criteria of the image forming apparatuses, thereby being capable of calculating charges reasonable to both the service manager and the user.
