ABSTRACT:
A charging system includes a plurality of image forming apparatuses, and an information processing device that manages a charging processing on the image forming apparatus. The image forming apparatus detects a trouble occurring on the image forming apparatus, and transmits a total number of output papers put out of the image forming apparatus and the detected contents of trouble to the information processing device as a use condition of the image forming apparatus. The information processing device calculates a total amount of service charge on the basis of the total number of output papers transmitted from the image forming apparatus, and also calculates an amount of deduction corresponding to the contents of trouble transmitted from the image forming apparatus. The information processing device deducts the amount of deduction from the total amount of service charge to calculate an amount of charge on the image forming apparatus.
