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 14):
An image forming apparatus comprising:\n a connecting part configured to connect with a terminal for remote maintenance 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 the first state and the second state are different modes, each configured to be executable during remote maintenance of the image forming apparatus; the first state is a normal control mode actually-controlling each part, and 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; the image forming apparatus further comprises an operation controlling part configured to control each part by the operational information corresponding to the mode changed by the mode changing part; the operation controlling part performs, in the guidance mode, guidance display that changes display of an operation panel part operating the self-apparatus and/or state change of the self-apparatus but does not perform control of other part; and the guidance mode does not perform control of parts other than the display, wherein the guidance mode displays a button that is displayed the same as a corresponding button of the normal mode for controlling a respective part, and wherein depressing of said button displayed in the guidance mode does not actually control said respective part.
