See full text

An image forming apparatus communicable with a centralized control apparatus. When a trouble occurs in the image forming apparatus under predetermined transmission conditions where a communication terminal electrically connected to the centralized control apparatus through a communication network has been connected to the image informing apparatus, signals indicative of both the occurring trouble and other operational states of the image forming apparatus are transmitted to the centralized control apparatus. Further, information indicative of the fact that the signals have already been transmitted to the centralized control apparatus is displayed on a display area of a control panel. When a trouble occurs in the image forming apparatus where the communication terminal has been disconnected from the image forming apparatus, a method of effecting measures on the trouble is displayed on the display area of the control panel.
