Abstract

An image forming apparatus includes a first controller, a selection section, and a second controller. The first controller performs control in which a second operation screen is displayed on a terminal apparatus that is connected to the image forming apparatus in a manner communication is possible, the second operation screen being generated on the basis of a first operation screen of the image forming apparatus. The selection section selects either one of a first mode and a second mode, the first mode being a mode in which an operation from the first operation screen is acceptable, the second mode being a mode in which remote control from the second operation screen is acceptable. The second controller performs control in which, if the second mode is selected by the selection section, a display state of the second operation screen is prohibited from being changed in accordance with an operation occurred in the image forming apparatus other than an operation from the second operation screen.
