<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming apparatus for appropriately changing a master among information processings in a network, which manages shared data (a browsing list) to be shared among a plurality of information processings in order to reduce power consumption as a whole network system, and also to provide an image formation program and an image formation system. <P>SOLUTION: The apparatus performs power saving control to stop power feeding to an image processing part 106 in the operation as a main device and to stop power feeding to the image processing part 106 and a network control part 110 in the operation as a slave device. When the image forming apparatus to be operated as the slave device is returned from a power saving state to a power-non-saving state for feeding power to the image processing part 106 and the network control part 110 in the operation as the main device, the operation is transferred to the returned slave device to be operated as the main device. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2011,JPO&INPIT |
