PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable a user to properly check whether the user can transmit information from a communication terminal to an image forming apparatus before the transmission.SOLUTION: A communication terminal 400 displays a window 411. A user inputs information (for example, characters) to be transmitted to an MFP 100 to an information input box 413 of the window 411. The communication terminal 400 inquires of the MFP 100 about the state of operation during input of information to the information input box 413. When receiving a notification indicating that the MFP 100 is in operation, the communication terminal 400 notifies the user of the fact.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】ユーザーが、通信端末から画像形成装置に情報を送信する際に、当該送信の可否を適切に確認できるようにすること。【解決手段】通信端末４００は、ウィンドウ４１１を表示する。ユーザーは、ウィンドウ４１１の情報入力欄４１３に、ＭＦＰ１００に送信する情報（たとえば、文字）を入力する。通信端末４００は、情報入力欄４１３への情報の入力中に、ＭＦＰ１００に操作状態を問い合わせる。そして、通信端末４００は、ＭＦＰ１００が操作中であることを示す通知を受けると、そのことを通信端末４００において通知する。【選択図】図１
