Image forming apparatus performing wireless communication and method of setting and starting a job via wireless communication

An image forming method operated by a computer for controlling an image forming apparatus that is communicable via wireless communication with a portable information processing device, the method comprising the steps of:

• a recognition step recognizing a portable information processing device that is within a communicable range of the wireless communication;
• a job setting step receiving a job setting;
• and
• a job control step receiving a start instruction and executing a job in response to the start instruction, wherein
• the job setting step receives the job setting, which is made in the portable information processing device, via the wireless communication after the portable information processing device falls within the communicable range, and
• the job control step accepts reception from the portable information processing device of an instruction to rearrange the order of the execution of the job among jobs which await their starts.
