Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes a first controller, a display panel, a touch panel, a timer, a first storage unit storing a timeout period, and a first communication unit communicating with an external apparatus. When a user selects a predetermined service provided by the image forming apparatus, the first storage unit changes the timeout period to a value obtained from an external apparatus providing the selected service. The first controller uses the changed timeout period to determine whether or not a timeout process is to be performed.
