Claim 17:
18. A method of calculating a density near a recording apparatus including
a receiver receiving recording data transmitted from a user,
a recording section performing recording on a medium using the recording data,
a memory section storing a recording log of the recording section,
an output tray to which the medium with the recording finished is outputted, and
a computer calculating a density near the recording apparatus, where the density is a probability indicating a size of a value of a number of users predicted to congregate near the recording apparatus is the density, the method comprising:
causing the computer to select a recording log, based on a time period in the recording log when recording data was recorded; and
causing the computer to calculate the density based on the recording log selected and a first elapsed time, which is an elapsed time since the recording data were transmitted.
