Image handling apparatus, image processing system, image process controlling method, and image process controlling program product

An image handling system, comprising:

• a web server including control circuitry that executes a web application;
• and
• an image handling device including:
• a display;
• a scanner to scan an image of an original sheet to obtain image data;
• and
• processing circuitry configured to:
• send a request to the web application;
• receive screen data sent from the web application in response to the request;
• control the display to, based on the screen data, a scan condition setting screen to input at least one scan condition for scanning the image using the scanner;
• send the at least one scan condition to the web application;
• receive instruction data including an execution instruction for scanning the image using the scanner from the web application;
• and
• control the scanner to scan the image based on the execution instruction, wherein
• the control circuitry of the web server is configured to:
• send, via the web application, the screen data to the image handling device in response to receiving the request;
• receive the at least one scan condition from the image handling device;
• generate, via the web application, the instruction data according to the at least one scan condition;
• and
• send the generated instruction data to the image handling device.
