Abstract

An image forming device includes a processor configured to, when at least a portion of setting information of another image forming device is acquired as transfer information that is new setting information for the image forming device, and setting information having a dependency relationship with the transfer information already exists in the image forming device, update the transfer information in such a way that consistency of the setting information having the dependency relationship is maintained.

Claims (36)

1. An image forming device comprising:

a processor configured to:

when at least a portion of setting information of another image forming device is acquired as transfer information that is new setting information for the image forming device, and setting information having a dependency relationship with the transfer information already exists in the image forming device,

update the transfer information in such a way that consistency of the setting information having the dependency relationship is maintained;

when each item of individual setting information included in a plurality of setting items constituting the setting information is updated using the transfer information, in a case where first individual setting information has a dependency relationship with second individual setting information belonging to another setting item,

prohibit updating of the first individual setting information and the second individual setting information that have the dependency relationship using the transfer information; and

in a case where the first individual setting information does not have a dependency relationship with the second individual setting information,

permit updating of the first individual setting information and the second individual setting information using the transfer information.

2. The image forming device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the processor is further configured to:

in a case where there is a dependency relationship among a plurality of setting items constituting the setting information,

prohibit updating each item of individual setting information belonging to the setting items having the dependency relationship.

3. The image forming device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the processor is further configured to:

in a case where a dependency relationship does not exist among a plurality of setting items constituting the setting information,

permit updating each item of individual setting information belonging to the setting items that do not have a dependency relationship.

4. The image forming device according to claim 1 ,

wherein the processor is further configured to:

in a case where there is a dependency relationship among a plurality of setting items constituting the setting information,

delete each item of individual setting information belonging to the setting items having the dependency relationship; and

set, as new setting information, individual setting information belonging to setting items of the transfer information corresponding to the setting items having the dependency relationship.

5. An image forming device comprising:

a processor configured to:

when at least a portion of setting information of another image forming device is acquired as transfer information that is new setting information for the image forming device, and setting information having a dependency relationship with the transfer information already exists in the image forming device,

update the transfer information in such a way that consistency of the setting information having the dependency relationship is maintained;

when each item of individual setting information included in a plurality of setting items constituting the setting information is updated using the transfer information,

in a case where first individual setting information included in the transfer information has a dependency relationship with second individual setting information belonging to another setting item,

update individual setting information corresponding to the second individual setting information, with the second individual setting information; and

update individual setting information corresponding to the first individual setting information, with the first individual setting information.

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

when at least a portion of setting information of another image forming device is acquired as transfer information that is new setting information for the image forming device, and setting information having a dependency relationship with the transfer information already exists in the image forming device,

updating the transfer information in such a way that consistency of the setting information having the dependency relationship is maintained;

when each item of individual setting information included in a plurality of setting items constituting the setting information is updated using the transfer information, in a case where first individual setting information has a dependency relationship with second individual setting information belonging to another setting item,

prohibiting updating of the first individual setting information and the second individual setting information that have the dependency relationship using the transfer information; and

in a case where the first individual setting information does not have a dependency relationship with the second individual setting information,

permitting updating of the first individual setting information and the second individual setting information using the transfer information.
