An image forming apparatus which eliminates the need for a paper thickness detection sensor and saves time and effort for a user when performing remote scanning. An image reading unit of the image forming apparatus is connectable to an external client via a network and generates image data by reading an original. In the remote scanning, the image reading unit reads the original conveyed by a conveying unit in accordance with an instruction from an external client. A conveying speed at which the original is conveyed by the conveying unit when the remote scanning is performed is set in accordance with an original thickness setting. A first original thickness setting made on the image forming apparatus and a second original thickness setting made on the external client are obtained. When the second original thickness setting is different from the first original thickness setting, the original thickness setting is set to the second original thickness setting.
