  • Publication number: 20150301768
    Abstract: If a control method during correction processing is not designated in setting information sent from a mobile terminal and if the image forming apparatus has no capability to execute a function (element) designated in the setting information, the image forming apparatus corrects the setting information to be a setting corresponding to the capability. On the other hand, if the control method during the correction processing is designated in the setting information sent from the mobile terminal and if the image forming apparatus has no capability to execute a function (element) designated in the setting information, the image forming apparatus performs correction after confirmation of stop of the function or correction of the function according to the control method.
