The image forming apparatus includes a storage section that stores firmware and a connection section that serves to connect the apparatus to a network. The apparatus receives through the connection section, an e-mail enclosing an attachment of the firmware data, and having a header portion containing an exclusive command indicating that firmware data used for updating the version of the firmware is attached and data indicating a transmitter. Then, the apparatus, when judged that the header portion includes the exclusive command, updates the version of the firmware stored in the storage section with the firmware data. Further, the apparatus forms an e-mail indicating the updating of the firmware has been successfully carried out or resulted in failure and then send it back to the transmitter of the e-mail via the connection section.
