Abstract

An image forming apparatus includes a receiving unit, an image forming unit, a detecting unit, a first calculating unit, a second calculating unit and display unit. The receiving unit receives image data sequentially. The detecting unit detects a residual amount of a consumable used for forming the page image by the image forming unit. The first calculating unit calculates a consumption of the consumable based on the image data received by a time point by the receiving unit whenever a prescribed condition is satisfied. The second calculating unit calculates a count of page images that can be formed on at least one sheet based on the consumption and the residual amount whenever the prescribed condition is satisfied. The display unit displays the count of page images calculated by the second calculating unit whenever the prescribed condition is satisfied.
