Image forming apparatus for transmitting management information via a plurality of network interfaces

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to execute a process, the computer included in an image forming apparatus having a plurality of network interfaces that are to be connected to different networks, the process comprising:

• storing management information;
• in accordance with a management information transmission request received via one of the network interfaces, extracting information which is to be transmitted through the one of the network interfaces through which the request has been received, from the management information, and generating transmission management information to be transmitted;
• transmitting the generated transmission management information from the one of the network interfaces through which the request has been received;
• and
• specifying the a first network interface of the plurality of network interfaces from a second network interface of the plurality of network interfaces,
• wherein, in response to the one of the network interfaces through which the request has been received being the first network interface through which a first information including a specific information of the image forming apparatus is to be transmitted, the management-information generating unit is configured to generate the transmission management information which includes the first information of the image forming apparatus,
• wherein, in response to the one of the network interfaces through which the request has been received being the second network interface through which a second information not including the specific information of the image forming apparatus is to be transmitted, the management-information generating unit is configured to generate the transmission management information which includes the second information of the image forming apparatus,
• wherein the specific information includes information about consumables of the image forming apparatus,
• wherein the first network interface is configured to transmit the first information including the specific information to a manager apparatus of the image forming apparatus, and
• wherein the second network interface is configured to transmit the second information not including the specific information to a non-manager apparatus of the image forming apparatus.

An image forming method performed on a computer included in an image forming apparatus having a plurality of network interfaces that are to be connected to different networks, the method comprising:

• storing management information;
• in accordance with a management information transmission request received via one of the network interfaces, extracting information which is to be transmitted through the one of the network interfaces through which the request has been received, from the management information, and generating transmission management information to be transmitted;
• transmitting the generated transmission management information from the one of the network interfaces through which the request has been received;
• and
• specifying a first network interface of the plurality of network interfaces from a second network interface of the plurality of network interfaces,
• wherein, in response to the one of the network interfaces through which the request has been received being the first network interface through which a first information including a specific information of the image forming apparatus is to be transmitted, the management-information generating unit is configured to generate the transmission management information which includes the first information of the image forming apparatus,
• wherein, in response to the one of the network interfaces through which the request has been received being the second network interface through which a second information not including the specific information of the image forming apparatus is to be transmitted, the management-information generating unit is configured to generate the transmission management information which includes the second information of the image forming apparatus,
• wherein the specific information includes information about consumables of the image forming apparatus,
• wherein the first network interface is configured to transmit the first information including the specific information to a manager apparatus of the image forming apparatus, and
• wherein the second network interface is configured to transmit the second information not including the specific information to a non-manager apparatus of the image forming apparatus.
