sends a request to the image forming apparatus using the second communicator, and the first controller of the image forming apparatus:

receives the request using the first communicator,

displays a screen on which the setting value can be input on the display, and

executes the job set in the server.

2. The image forming system according to claim 1 , wherein,

the audio device is provided in the image forming apparatus, and

audio data input from the audio device is transmittable to the server.

3. The image forming system according to claim 1 , wherein,

the job specific information further includes user information,

the second controller of the server

sets a job instructed by the user as a job to be executed when the job instructed by a user is not stored in the storage, and

registers new job specific information based on the job when the job is executed by the image forming apparatus, and

the first controller of the image forming apparatus executes the job.

4. The image forming system according to claim 3 , wherein

the job specific information further includes user information,

the second controller of the server

identifies a user,

and

specifies the job by the job specific information and the user specified.

5. The image forming system according to claim 1 , wherein, the first controller of the image forming apparatus executes the job when a response confirming from a user is received before the job set is executed.

6. The image forming system according to claim 1 , wherein, the first controller of the image forming apparatus executes a job instructed by the user in place of the job set when the different job is instructed by a user before the job set is executed.
