Claim:
1. An image forming apparatus comprising: a communication interface configured to receive a print instruction; at least one processor configured to execute an image data generating unit configured to generate output image data in response to the print instruction received by the communication interface; a memory configured to be controlled by the at least one processor to store specification information for specifying a print instruction for which operation history information is to be obtained; wherein the at least one processor is further configured to execute a saving unit configured to save, in a case where specification information of the print instruction received by the communication interface matches the specification information stored in the memory, operation history information indicating that image formation processing has been performed by using the output image data in response to the print instruction; and wherein the at least one processor is further configured to execute a faulty job determining unit configured to, after shifting to a history obtainment mode, and in response to determining that the specification information of the print instruction received by the communication interface matches the specification information stored in the memory, control a print setting and a print status of the image forming apparatus to be reproduced as a same print setting and print status as a print setting and a print status associated with the specification information stored in the memory.
