Abstract

To provide an image formation device that improves user convenience when a part or whole of an operation image of the image formation device is displayed and operated from a terminal device via a network.SOLUTION: An image formation device according to one aspect of the present invention includes a communication unit 14, a display unit 12 that displays an operation image, a transmission processing unit 10a, and a reception processing unit 10b. The transmission processing unit 10a transmits display information based on the operation image displayed on the display unit 12 to the terminal device 2 via the communication unit 14. The reception processing unit 10b receives an operation event received by the terminal device 2 from the terminal device 2 via the communication unit 14. The transmission processing unit 10a transmits, as display information, first display information indicating a response result to a plurality of predetermined operation events indicated by first information to the terminal device 2 when the first information including the plurality of predetermined operation events is received at the reception processing unit 10b.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
