Abstract
An image forming device disclosed herein may comprise an image forming engine and a controller. The controller may be configured to: repeatedly send an inquiry request to a server, wherein in a case where the job execution response is received from the server, control the image forming engine to start image formation; and in the case where the job execution response is received from the server, establish a connection of server-push type with the server, wherein in a case where the server receives a job stop instruction from the terminal device, the server sends an image formation stop command to the image forming device by using the connection without receiving the inquiry request from the image forming device, wherein in a case where the image formation stop command is received from the server, the image formation is stopped.
