Claim 0:
1. An information processing system comprising:
a plurality of terminal apparatuses, each of the terminal apparatuses being an image forming apparatus;
a processor implemented with hardware that processes transmission information transmitted from a terminal apparatus of the plurality of terminal apparatuses and that generates post-processing information to be transmitted to a receiving apparatus server via the terminal apparatus that has transmitted the transmission information of the plurality of terminal apparatuses; and
a firewall that separates the plurality of terminal apparatuses and the receiving apparatus server from the processor implemented with hardware that processes transmission information, such that the processor is outside of the firewall and the terminal apparatuses are inside the firewall,
the terminal apparatus transmitting the transmission information to the processor across the firewall and transmitting destination information regarding the receiving apparatus server to the processor,
wherein the post-processing information generated by the processor is transmitted to the receiving apparatus server across the firewall via a terminal apparatus of the plurality of terminal apparatuses,
wherein when the terminal apparatus that has transmitted the transmission information is in a specific state, the post-processing information is transmitted to the receiving apparatus server across the firewall via a different terminal apparatus of the plurality of terminal apparatuses that is different from the terminal apparatus,
wherein when the terminal apparatus that has transmitted the transmission information is in the specific state, the destination information is transmitted from the processor to the different terminal apparatus across the firewall, and
wherein the specific state includes one of an off state, a sleep mode, and a state where a processing load exceeds a predetermined threshold.
