Abstract:
Provided is the image forming apparatus that is implemented guidance mode. A connecting part connects with a terminal for remote maintenance in a session of a specific protocol. An operation acquiring part acquires operational information corresponding to operation of the terminal connected by the connecting part. A mode changing part is changed into a normal control mode and guidance mode by the operational information acquired by the operation acquiring part. The normal control mode is a mode that actually-controls each part. Also, guidance mode is the mode that controls each part for guidance. An operation control part controls each part by operational information corresponding to the mode changed by the mode changing part.

Claim (Index 5):
An image forming system having an image forming apparatus and a terminal for remote maintenance of the image forming apparatus, wherein;\n the image forming apparatus includes a connecting part configured to connect with the terminal in a session of a specific protocol; an operation acquiring part configured to acquire operational information corresponding to operation of the terminal connected by the connecting part; a mode changing part configured to independently change to a first state of a self-apparatus and a second state of the self-apparatus by the operational information acquired by the operation acquiring part, wherein each of the first state and the second state are different modes configured to be executable during remote maintenance of the image forming apparatus, and wherein the first state is a normal control mode actually-controlling each part, and wherein the second state is a guidance mode controlling a display for the purpose of guidance for control of each part without actually-controlling each part other than the display; and an operation control part configured to control each part by the operational information corresponding to the mode changed by the mode changing part; the terminal includes a display part configured to display an emulated image emulated on an operation panel part of the image forming apparatus; and an operation transmitting part configured to transmit the operational information having pointer data about movement and depression of a pointer on the emulated image to the image forming apparatus in the session; the emulated image has an image for a mode change button changing the mode in an area other than an area displayed in the operation panel part of the self-apparatus; and the mode changing part changes the mode when the area of the image for the mode change button is depressed with the pointer in the operational information.
