Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes an operation unit, a management unit, a communication unit, a restricting unit, and a control unit. The operation unit receives an input signal based on a user input. The management unit manages a plurality of modes of the image forming apparatus. The plurality of modes includes a first mode and a second mode. The second mode is for remote maintenance. The communication unit transmits connection request data to a maintenance apparatus. The restricting unit restricts communication with an external apparatus. Upon receipt of the input signal, the control unit controls the management unit to shift a current mode of the image forming apparatus from the first mode to the second mode, controls the communication unit to transmit the connection request data to the maintenance apparatus, and controls the restricting unit to restrict the communication with the external apparatus.

Abstract: A printing method uses a print server that provides, when identification information for an image forming apparatus is stored in the print server, a service of receiving and storing a print job for the image forming apparatus and sends the stored print job to the image forming apparatus. The printing method includes, as a first step, receiving an instruction to delete the identification information for the image forming apparatus from the print server. The method further includes as a second step, sending, from the print server to the image forming apparatus, a print job for the image forming apparatus left in the print server, after the first step. As a third step, the identification information for the image forming apparatus is deleted from the print server, after the second step.
