1. A sheet manufacturing system comprising:
a coarsely crushing apparatus that coarsely crushes a paper;
a sheet manufacturing apparatus that generates a sheet-shaped recycled paper using coarsely crushed pieces of the paper as a raw material; and
a server that is connected to the coarsely crushing apparatus and the sheet manufacturing apparatus via a network, wherein
the sheet manufacturing apparatus has a reserving section that reserves the coarsely crushed pieces, a remaining amount detector that detects a remaining amount of the coarsely crushed pieces in the reserving section, a calculation section that calculates an allowable filling amount of the coarsely crushed pieces in the reserving section based on a detection result of the remaining amount detector, and an output section that transmits information related to the calculated allowable filling amount to the server, and
the coarsely crushing apparatus has an integration section that integrates the coarsely crushed pieces, an input section that acquires the information related to the allowable filling amount from the server, a display information generation section that generates display information related to the allowable filling amount based on the information acquired by the input section, and a display section that displays the display information.
