    Abstract: A peripheral device connectable to a terminal via a network includes an alternate-device search unit, an alternate-device data transmission unit, and an alternate-device data transmission notification unit. The alternate-device search unit searches for an alternate peripheral device in an operating mode in the neighborhood of the peripheral device when the peripheral device is in a power saving mode upon receiving data to be processed from the terminal. When the alternate-device search unit locates the alternate peripheral device in the operation mode, the alternate-device data transmission unit transmits the data to be processed to the alternate peripheral device. The alternate-device data transmission notification unit notifies the terminal that the alternate-device data transmission unit has transmitted the data to be processed to the alternate peripheral device.
