Zusammenfassung:	To provide an image forming apparatus that can satisfactorily perform maintenance of the apparatus.SOLUTION: An image forming apparatus performs execution determination as to whether to execute maintenance related control, and comprises information acquisition means such as a communication unit 42 that acquires external information from an external device such as a server 60. A control unit 40 performs the execution determination as to whether to execute the maintenance related control based on the external information acquired from the communication unit 42 via a network 50 and internal information on the apparatus stored in a non-volatile storage such as a flash memory.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】装置のメンテナンスを良好に行うことができる画像形成装置を提供する。【解決手段】メンテナンス関連制御を実施するか否かの実施判定を行う画像形成装置は、サーバ６０などの外部機器から外部情報を取得する通信部４２などの情報取得手段を備えている。そして、制御部４０は、メンテナンス関連制御を実施するか否かの実施判定を、通信部４２によりネットワーク５０経由で取得した外部情報とフラッシュメモリなどの不揮発性記憶装置に記憶されている装置の内部情報とに基づいて行う。【選択図】図１
