<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To control the state of the specific interface of an image forming apparatus equipped with a plurality of interfaces from a server device. <P>SOLUTION: A server device is notified of the status of the interface (S122 to S124). Then, the state of the interface other than any interface used for communication with the server device is switched from a valid state to an invalid state based on an instruction from the server device (S125 to S127), so that the state of the specific interface of the image forming apparatus equipped with the plurality of interfaces can be controlled from the server device. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2008,JPO&INPIT |
