1. An image forming device, comprising:
a scanner engine configured to scan an image and generate image data representing the scanned image;
a memory;
a communication interface;
a user interface; and
a controller,
wherein the controller is configured to perform a remote display control comprising:
displaying an operation screen on the user interface;
obtaining identification information identifying a user logging in the image forming device from an information processing device through the communication interface;
determining a display mode based on which user the obtained identification information identifies, the display mode being determined to be a first mode when the obtained identification information identifies a first user, the display mode being determined to be a second mode when the identification information identifies a second user;
determining whether the operation screen displayed on the user interface includes a preview screen, the preview screen indicating the scanned image based on the image data generated by the scanner engine; and
in a case where the operation screen displayed on the user interface includes the preview screen, transmitting remote data to the information processing device through the communication interface, the remote data being data causing the information processing device to display a remote screen reproducing the operation screen displayed on the user interface without restriction when the display mode is the first mode, the operation screen displayed on the user interface being not restricted on the user interface regardless of whether the display mode is the first mode or the second mode, the remote data being data causing the information processing device to display a remote screen displaying a restricted screen when the display mode is the second mode, the restricted screen being a screen restricting part of the preview screen displayed on the remote screen.
