Image forming apparatus and tangible computer-readable recording medium

A non-transitory computer-readable recording medium storing a program therein, wherein the program causes an image forming apparatus to:

• optically read an original by using an image sensor of the image forming apparatus;
• print an image of the original, which is obtained by the image sensor, on recording paper by using a printer of the image forming apparatus;
• transmit the image of the original, which is obtained by the image sensor, to an external device by using a transmitting unit of the image forming apparatus;
• use a hardware processor of the image forming apparatus to receive a first execution instruction for executing a first job that includes reading of the original by the image sensor and a second execution instruction for executing a second job that includes reading of the original by the image sensor;
• and
• use the hardware processor to determine whether the second execution instruction is received within a predetermined time after the first execution instruction is received,
• wherein at least one of the first execution instruction and the second execution instruction is a remote instruction received from an external terminal, and
• a transmitting instruction for transmitting the image of the original is included in both the first execution instruction and the second execution instruction or in the first execution instruction,
• upon a determination by the hardware processor that the second execution instruction is received within the predetermined time, the hardware processor controls the image sensor, the printer and the transmitting unit so as to execute the received first execution instruction except for the transmitting instruction to transmit the image of the original, otherwise the hardware processor controls the image sensor, the printer and the transmitting unit so as to execute the received first execution instruction including the transmitting instruction.
