Abstract:
An image forming apparatus includes: a communication interface to communicate with a plurality of control terminals operated by different users; and circuitry to: authenticate the plurality of control terminals in an order that an authentication request is received from the control terminal; send an operational screen to each one of the plurality of control terminals that have been successfully authenticated for display at each control terminal, the operational screen to accept a process request for requesting the image forming apparatus to execute an image forming process; receive a plurality of process requests from the plurality of control terminals that have been authenticated in an order that the process request is accepted at the control terminal; and control an image forming device to execute a plurality of image forming processes according to the plurality of process requests in the order that the process request is accepted at the control terminal.

Claim (Index 3):
The image forming apparatus of  claim 1 , further comprising:\n the image forming device including a reading unit to execute a scan process, and a printing unit to execute a print process, the reading unit and the printing unit capable of operating independently from each other, wherein, when the process request for executing the print process and the process request for executing the scan process are received at substantially the same time as a process request for executing the image forming process, the circuitry controls the reading unit to execute the scan process, and the printing unit to execute the print process, concurrently.
