A host apparatus which is connectable to an image forming device and to a display, comprising:
- a controller configured to control operations of a web capture application and a capture application;
- and
- a storage,
- wherein the controller,
- controls the web capture application driven on a display to capture a first capture area displayed on a screen of a web browser, adds the first capture area to a first shared clipboard displayed at one side of the screen, and saves the first capture area in the storage as a first file which is compatible in the capture application, and
- controls the capture application driven on the display to capture a second capture area displayed on a desktop screen, adds the second capture area to a second shared clipboard displayed at one side of the desktop screen, and saves the second capture area in the storage as a second file which is compatible in the web capture application, and
- wherein the first and second shared clipboards correspond to the size of a recording medium supported by the image forming device and at least one of the compatible first and second files is openable and editable in the first and second shared clipboards.
