The bridge device accesses another image forming device 10 other than the bridge device to acquire the information related to image data stored in the other image forming device. The bridge device transmits to the child the information related to image data stored in the other image forming device 10 and information related to image data stored in a storage part 16 of the bridge device itself.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 2 |
