Abstract
An image forming apparatus sends a request signal to a web server upon reception of a request signal for web server from a LAN terminal and receives content data sent from the web server in response to the request signal. The image forming apparatus judges whether the received content data is suitable for a display capabilities of the LAN terminal. When judging that the received content data is suitable for the capabilities of the LAN terminal that has sent the request signal, the image forming apparatus transfers the received content data to the LAN terminal. When judging that the received content data is not suitable for the capabilities of the LAN terminal that has sent the request signal, the image forming apparatus executes a print request process to thereby print an image based on the content data on a recording sheet.
