Abstract
An image forming apparatus, to which terminals are connected, comprises an image forming unit, a detector that detects an error, and a controller that, when the error is detected, specifies a portable terminal through which an operation to eliminate the error is requested, transmits a request to the specified terminal, and transmits a notification that notifies of an occurrence of the error to each terminal other than the specified terminal. The terminal that has received the request displays information representing an error type and information promoting an elimination of the error, and the terminal that has received the notification displays not the information that promotes the elimination of the error, but the information representing the error type.
