Abstract
A multifunction peripheral includes a control portion, a LAN interface portion, and web servers. The web server manages information about components in the control portion, the user I/F portion, the printer, and the scanner. The web server manages information about components in the LAN interface portion. The web servers are configured for mutual transmission. The web server is connected to a LAN through a network control portion. When information that is managed by the web server is requested from a terminal that is connected to the LAN, then the web server functions as a proxy server to transfer the requested input from the LAN to the web server and to transmit information transferred from the web server to the requestor.
