Claim:
1. A mobile device comprising: a display device as a liquid crystal display (LCD); a non-volatile storage device as a hard disk drive (HDD) that stores an augmented reality (AR) program; an image pickup device; and a control section including a central processing unit (CPU) configured for executing the AR program stored in the non-volatile storage device as the HDD so as to: wherein the display device as the LCD displays a synthetic image in which the degree of recommendation determined is associated with an image of the image forming apparatus shot by the image pickup device; the control section including the CPU is further configured for executing the AR program stored in the non-volatile storage device as the HDD so as to acquire apparatus information about the image forming apparatus from a server via a network and determine the probability according to whether or not information, included in the apparatus information, on the toners of the use toner colors determined meets a specified criterion, the non-volatile storage device as the HDD stores: (i) a criterion table indicating the criterion for the degree of recommendation; (ii) a color machine-targeted flag; (iii) a black-and-white machine-targeted flag; (iv) a cyan toner use flag indicating whether or not to use cyan toner; (v) a magenta toner use flag indicating whether or not to use magenta toner; (vi) a yellow toner use flag indicating whether or not to use yellow toner; and (vii) a black toner use flag indicating whether or not to use black toner; the control section including the CPU is configured for executing the AR program stored in the non-volatile storage device as the HDD so as to: the criterion table includes: (viii) a determination item indicating a type of situation preventing implementation of the printing on the image forming apparatus; and (ix) the specified criterion according to which the probability of the situation in the determination item is determined to be high, and the determination item includes at least one of forced toner supply, calibration, and warm-up for raising temperature of a fixation device.
