Abstract:
Provided is an image forming apparatus capable of counting a number of prints with high accuracy and a recording medium. An MFP that includes a monochrome counter for monochrome printing and a color counter for color printing sets the monochrome counter as a target counter for reflecting the number of prints in a printing process when only monochrome toner of monochrome toner and color toner is consumed in the printing process. Moreover, the MFP sets the color counter as a target counter when color toner is consumed in a printing process. Then, the MFP reflects the number of prints in a printing process on the set target counter.

Claim (Index 5):
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium that stores a print-number-counting program, where\n the print-number-counting program causes a computer of an image forming apparatus that comprises: a monochrome counter for monochrome printing of counters for counting a number of prints; and a color counter for color printing of the counters to operate as: a target-counter-setting unit that sets a target counter of the monochrome counter and the color counter that will cause the number of prints to be reflected in a printing process; and a print-number-reflection unit that reflects the number of prints in the printing process on the target counter that is set by the target-counter-setting unit; and the target-counter-setting unit sets the monochrome counter as the target counter when only achromatic material as a color material is consumed in the printing process, and sets the color counter as the target when chromatic material as a color material is consumed in the printing process.
