Abstract
An image forming system may include an image forming apparatus, an information processing device configured to send print data to the image forming apparatus, and a destination device configured to receive error information sent from the image forming apparatus. The image forming apparatus may include a control device configured to determine whether the destination device is available to provide notification of the error information. The control device may be further configured to enforce print restriction controls to start the printing operation of the print data received from the information processing device when the destination device is available to provide notification of the error information and to not start the printing operation of the print data when the destination device is not available to provide notification of the error information.
