Abstract

The invention provides an image forming apparatus, an image forming system, and an image forming method. The image forming apparatus includes hardware resources including a scanner device and a printer device, a user interface including a display, a network interface, and a processor that causes the image forming apparatus to execute processes of a web browser and an image forming unit. The web browser includes an obtaining part that obtains web contents from a server. The web contents include information pertaining to an operation screen of a copying process that uses the scanner device and the printer device and information pertaining to a script for controlling the copying process. The web browser includes a display control part that displays the operation screen on the display based on the web contents. The web browser part includes a script execution part that executes the script for controlling the copying process based on the information included in the web contents.
