Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes an operation unit that receives an instruction for an operation and executes the operation, and an instruction unit that outputs the instruction to the operation unit. The operation unit includes a configuration storage unit that stores deployment configuration of one or more image forming apparatuses, and an instruction acceptance unit that accepts an instruction for an operation corresponding to the deployment configuration. The instruction unit includes an instruction output unit that receives a designation of an operation, and outputs an instruction for the designated operation to the operation unit, and a configuration reporting unit that, if the designated operation does not correspond to a first deployment configuration stored in the configuration storage unit, reports to the operation unit a second deployment configuration to which the designated operation corresponds, and stores the second deployment configuration in the configuration storage unit, before the instruction is output.
