Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes a memory that stores evacuation information for use in an event of a disaster, a printer that prints the evacuation information stored in the memory in the event of a disaster, and a display controller that performs, if the printer is unable to print the evacuation information, control to display information on an installation place of a different image forming apparatus that is able to print the evacuation information in place of the image forming apparatus.
Claims8
An image forming apparatus, comprising:
- a memory that stores evacuation information for use in an event of a disaster;
- a printer that prints the evacuation information stored in the memory in the event of a disaster;
- and
- a display controller that performs, if the printer is unable to print the evacuation information, control to display information on an installation place of a different image forming apparatus that is able to print the evacuation information in place of the image forming apparatus.
A management apparatus, comprising:
- a storage that stores pieces of information on installation places of a plurality of image forming apparatuses, and pieces of evacuation information to be stored in the plurality of image forming apparatuses;
- a determiner that determines, for each of the plurality of image forming apparatuses, a substitute image forming apparatus that prints evacuation information in place of the each of the plurality of image forming apparatuses when the each of the plurality of image forming apparatuses is unable to print the evacuation information;
- and
- a transmitter that transmits, to the each of the plurality of image forming apparatuses, information on the substitute image forming apparatus determined by the determiner, evacuation information printable by the each of the plurality of image forming apparatuses as a substitute image forming apparatus, and evacuation information of an area where the each of the plurality of image forming apparatuses is installed.
An image forming system, comprising:
- a management apparatus comprising:
- a storage that stores pieces of information on installation places of a plurality of image forming apparatuses, and pieces of evacuation information to be stored in the plurality of image forming apparatuses;
- a determiner that determines, for each of the plurality of image forming apparatuses, a substitute image forming apparatus that prints evacuation information in place of the each of the plurality of image forming apparatuses when the each of the plurality of image forming apparatuses is unable to print the evacuation information;
- and
- a transmitter that transmits, to the each of the plurality of image forming apparatuses, information on the substitute image forming apparatus determined by the determiner, evacuation information printable by the each of the plurality of image forming apparatuses as a substitute image forming apparatus, and evacuation information of an area where the each of the plurality of image forming apparatuses is installed;
- and
- image forming apparatuses each comprising:
- a memory that stores evacuation information and information on a substitute image forming apparatus, which are transmitted from the management apparatus;
- a printer that prints the evacuation information stored in the memory in an event of a disaster;
- and
- a display controller that performs, if the printer is unable to print the evacuation information, control to display information on an installation place of the substitute image forming apparatus that is able to print the evacuation information in place of the image forming apparatus.
A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to execute a process comprising:
- storing evacuation information for use in an event of a disaster;
- and
- performing, if an image forming apparatus is unable to print the stored evacuation information in the event of a disaster, control to display information on an installation place of a different image forming apparatus that is able to print the evacuation information in place of the image forming apparatus.
