Abstract:
A multifunction peripheral ( 100 ) is connected to a terminal device ( 200 ) via a communication link, receives image data transmitted from the terminal device ( 200 ) and forms an image based on the image data. Further, the multifunction peripheral ( 100 ) detects the state of connection of the communication link and thereby detects whether or not communication with the terminal device ( 200 ) is interrupted. If interruption of communication is detected while image data transmitted from the terminal device is being received, the multifunction peripheral suspends the unfinished state of reception of image data.

Claim (Index 5):
The image forming apparatus according to  claim 2 , further comprising:\n a timer that measures time elapsed after the detection of the interruption of communication by the link state detector; and a receiver that receives, when the image forming apparatus is suspending an unfinished state of communication and communication is resumed within a prescribed time period from the detection of the interruption of communication by the link state detector, the image data from the suspended unfinished state; wherein the image forming apparatus discards the received image data, when the image forming apparatus is suspending an unfinished state of communication and communication is not resumed within a prescribed time period from the detection of the interruption of communication by the link state detector.
