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 13):
A non-transitory recording medium which, when executed by one or more processors, cause the processors to perform an image forming method comprising:\n authenticating a plurality of control terminals that are operated by different users, in an order that an authentication request is received from the control terminal; sending 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 being configured to accept a process request for requesting the image forming apparatus to execute an image forming process; receiving 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 controlling 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.
