Abstract

An image forming device includes a receiver and a switcher. The receiver receives data for executing a function of storing specific data in a preset private box. The switcher switches between first and second register modes when the function to be executed by using the data received by the receiver is copied into the image forming device. The first register mode is a mode in which a private box is manually registered in the image forming device. The second register mode is a mode in which a private box is automatically registered in the image forming device.

Claims (30)

1. An image forming device comprising:

a processor programed to

receive data for cloning an application and associated with a preset private box number, the received data (i) being received from an external image forming device that stores the application in the preset private box number and (ii) including a registration setting for registering the application;

load the received data for cloning;

select, based on the registration setting of the received data for cloning, between first and second register modes after the application to be executed by using the received data for cloning is cloned into the image forming device, the first register mode being a mode for manual private box number association with the application in the image forming device, the second register mode being a mode for automatic private box number association with the application in the image forming device; and

register the cloned application based on the selected one of the first register mode and the second register mode, wherein

the application is configured to store scanned data in the preset private box number,

the scanned data is different from the received data for cloning, and

the registering of the cloned application results in association of the cloned application in the image forming device with the preset private box number or another private box number in the image forming device.

2. The image forming device according to claim 1 , wherein, in the first register mode, the processor selects between (i) a first setting of only the manual private box number association and (ii) a second setting in which the automatic private box number association is executed unless a private box having the same number as the preset private box number exists in the image forming device.

3. The image forming device according to claim 1 , wherein

the second register mode includes

a first setting in which, if an existing private box associated with the preset private box number exists in the image forming device, the cloned application is registered by overwriting the existing private box, and

a second setting in which, if the existing private box associated with the preset private box number exists in the image forming device, the cloned application is registered with an available box number different than the preset private box number and without overwriting the existing private box.

4. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing an image forming device to execute a process, the process comprising:

receiving data for cloning an application and associated with a preset private box number, the received data (i) being received from an external image forming device that stores the application in the preset private box number and (ii) including a registration setting for registering the application;

loading the received data for cloning;

selecting, based on the registration setting of the received data for cloning, between first and second register modes after the application to be executed by using the received data for cloning is cloned into the image forming device, the first register mode being a mode for manual private box number association with the application in the image forming device, the second register mode being a mode for automatic private box number association with the application in the image forming device; and

registering the cloned application based on the selected one of the first register mode and the second register mode, wherein

the application is configured to store scanned data in the preset private box number,

the scanned data is different from the received data for cloning, and

the registering of the cloned application results in association of the cloned application in the image forming device with the preset private box number or another private box number in the image forming device.

5. An image forming device comprising:

receiving means for receiving data for cloning an application and associated with a preset private box number, the received data being (i) received from an external image forming device that stores the application in the preset private box number and (ii) including a registration setting for registering the application;

loading means for loading the received data for cloning;

selecting means for selecting, based on the registration setting of the received data for cloning, between first and second register modes after the application to be executed by using the received data for cloning is cloned into the image forming device, the first register mode being a mode for manual private box number association with the application in the image forming device, the second register mode being a mode for automatic private box number association with the application in the image forming device; and

registering means for registering the cloned application based on the selected one of the first register mode and the second register mode, wherein

the application is configured to store scanned data in the preset private box number,

the scanned data is different from the received data for cloning, and

the registering of the cloned application results in association of the cloned application in the image forming device with the preset private box number or another private box number in the image forming device.
