Abstract

See full text

An image forming apparatus, having a mobile input function and a remote input function, includes a network interface, an operation panel including a touch panel, and a controller. After starting to provide one of the input functions, the controller sends display data to an operation terminal via the network interface, thereby causing the operation terminal to display an operation screen for operating the image forming apparatus from the operation terminal. While the mobile input function is being provided, the controller does not display a local operation screen on the touch panel. While the remote input function is being provided, the controller displays the local operation screen on the touch panel, and updates, in response to receiving operation data from the operation terminal via the network interface, display contents on the local operation screen, based on an operation indicated by the received operation data.
