Abstract:
An image forming apparatus includes a display unit, an image forming unit, and a control unit. The image forming unit forms an image on a recording sheet. The control unit includes a processor, and acts as a controller when the processor executes a control program. The controller calculates a coverage rate to be realized when the image is formed on the recording sheet, decides a recycle category of the recording sheet according to the coverage rate, and either causes the display unit to display the recycle category, or causes the image forming unit to form an image of the recycle category on the recording sheet, together with the image.

Claim (Index 9):
An image forming system comprising:\n an image forming apparatus; and an information processing apparatus connected to the image forming apparatus via a network, wherein the image forming apparatus includes:\n a first communication unit that receives an image transmitted from the information processing apparatus through the network; \n an image forming unit that forms the image on a recording sheet; and \n a control unit including a processor, and configured to act as a first controller when the processor executes a control program, the first controller being configured to:\n calculate a coverage rate of the image with respect to the recording sheet; \n decide a recycle category of the recording sheet according to the coverage rate; and \n cause the first communication unit to transmit the recycle category to the information processing apparatus through the network, and \n \n the information processing apparatus includes:\n a storage unit; \n a second communication unit that transmits the image to the image forming apparatus, and receives the recycle category; and \n a control unit including a processor, and configured to act as a second controller when the processor executes a control program, the second controller being configured to store the image and the recycle category in the storage unit, in association with each other.
