Abstract
It is determined whether the service mode is turned off. When it is determined that the service mode is turned off, the remote access job history is checked. A CPU then determines whether there is an unexecuted job. When determining that there is an unexecuted job, the CPU inquires of the PC providing an instruction to execute the job whether to re-execute the job. The CPU then determines whether an instruction to re-execute the unexecuted job has been accepted. When determining that an instruction to re-execute the unexecuted job has been accepted, the CPU re-executes the unexecuted job.
