The image forming system

An image forming system includes mobile terminals and image forming apparatuses, in which one image forming apparatus receives setting information to be used in order to use the image forming apparatus, the setting information being stored in one mobile terminal and able to be transmitted to another mobile terminal that will use another image forming apparatus based on the setting information. The one image forming apparatus determines whether the setting information is to be changed based on a comparison between the ability of the image forming apparatuses and, when determining that the setting information is to be changed, changes the setting information and send the changed setting information to the other mobile terminal.
