Abstract
An image forming apparatus that is remotely operable by an information processing apparatus including a first display that displays a first operation image as a remote operation image, the image forming apparatus includes: a second display that displays a second operation image as an image forming apparatus operation image for operation of the image forming apparatus; a communicator that communicates with the information processing apparatus; a display storage in which the first operation image is loaded; and one or more controllers that transmit the first operation image including the second operation image as a part of the first operation image to the information processing apparatus when a resolution of the first display is higher than a resolution of the second display.
Claims7
An image forming apparatus that is remotely operable by an information processing apparatus including a first display that displays a first operation image as a remote operation image, the image forming apparatus comprising:
- a second display that displays a second operation image as an image forming apparatus operation image for operation of the image forming apparatus;
- a communicator that communicates with the information processing apparatus;
- a display storage in which the first operation image is loaded;
- and
- one or more controllers that transmit the first operation image including the second operation image as a part of the first operation image to the information processing apparatus when a resolution of the first display is higher than a resolution of the second display.
A control method for an image forming apparatus that is remotely operable by an information processing apparatus including a first display that displays a first operation image as a remote operation image, the image forming apparatus including a second display that displays a second operation image as an image forming apparatus operation image for operation of the image forming apparatus, the control method comprising processing of:
- communicating with the information processing apparatus;
- loading the first operation image;
- and
- transmitting the first operation image including the second operation image as a part of the first operation image to the information processing apparatus when a resolution of the first display is higher than a resolution of the second display.
A system including an image forming apparatus and an information processing apparatus allowed to remotely operate the image forming apparatus, wherein
- the information processing apparatus includes
- a first communicator that receives a first operation image as a remote operation image that remotely operates the image forming apparatus,
- a first display that displays the first operation image, and
- a processor that remotely operates the image forming apparatus via the first operation image,
- the image forming apparatus includes
- a second display that displays a second operation image as an image forming apparatus operation image for operation of the image forming apparatus,
- a second communicator that communicates with the information processing apparatus,
- a display storage in which the first operation image is loaded, and
- one or more controllers that transmit the first operation image including the second operation image as a part of the first operation image to the information processing apparatus when a resolution of the first display is higher than a resolution of the second display.
