To provide an image forming apparatus allowing a user to properly recognize the remaining amount of a recording material.

A section determination part 402 determines an information rank to which the detection result of a remaining amount detection part 401 belongs, based on the remaining amount of each recording material detected by the remaining amount detection part 401 and a threshold stored in a reference holding part 406. A remaining amount display image generation part 403 generates a remaining amount display image on the recording material specified by remaining amount display generation conditions, based on the remaining amount of each recording material detected by the remaining amount detection part 401 and the remaining amount display generation conditions extracted from a generation condition holding part 407 according to the determined information rank. An information generation part 404 generates information including the remaining amount display image generated by the remaining amount display image generation part 403. A display control part 405 displays the information generated by the information generation part 404 on the status display area 206 of an operation screen.
