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 4):
The image forming apparatus according to  claim 1 , comprising:\n a printing device that executes printing on a recording medium based on image data; and a printing-device-operating unit that operates the printing device; wherein the target-counter-setting unit sets the target counter by a specific method when reflecting the number of prints in the printing process on the target counter at medium supply timing as timing for starting the supply of recording medium by the printing device; and the print-number-reflection unit corrects the number of prints reflected on the target counter at the medium supply timing, when the target counter that is set by the target-counter-setting unit using the specific method, and the target counter that is set by the target-counter-setting unit based on the consumed amount of the color material in the printing process are different.
