ABSTRACT:
An image formation device simulation apparatus performs a simulation of processing performed by an image formation device. The simulation apparatus includes: an image formation command acquisition unit that acquires an image formation command including information of a target image to be formed by the image formation device; a simulation unit that performs a simulation of image formation processing performed by the image formation device for forming the target image on a recording medium, and generates output image data that corresponds to the target image to be formed on the recording medium, based on the image formation command; and a consumption amount calculation unit that calculates and outputs an amount of consumption of a consumable item that the image formation device predictably consumes by the image formation processing, based on the output image data.
