Information processing apparatus and non-transitory computer readable medium storing program

1. An information processing apparatus comprising;

a memory; and

a processor configured to:

receive setting data that is used for an operation of the information processing apparatus;

determine whether the received setting data is formatted according to an old specification;

determine whether the information processing apparatus has no setting data currently registered;

upon a determination that the received setting data is formatted according to the old specification and the information processing apparatus has no setting data registered, convert and store the received setting data in a new format in the memory; and

upon a determination that the information processing apparatus has at least one piece of setting data corresponding to the received setting data already currently registered, prohibit the received setting data from being stored in the new format in the memory.

2. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein:

the setting data includes a plurality of pieces of individual data, and

the converting and the storing of the setting data is performed upon a determination that the information processing apparatus has no piece of individual data registered.

3. The information processing apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein the setting data is destination data.

4. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the setting data includes a plurality of pieces of individual data, and

the processor is configured to, in response to reception of a first registration request for a first piece of the plurality of pieces of individual data and reception of a second registration request for a second, subsequent piece of the plurality of pieces of individual data being made within a predetermined time, handle the first piece and the second piece as a series of setting data, and

register the series of setting data upon a determination that the information processing apparatus has no setting data registered at a start of the registration of the series of setting data.

5. The information processing apparatus according to claim 4 , wherein the processor is configured to:

start a timer after completion of the registration of the first piece, and

in response to a value of the timer at the reception of the second registration request for the second piece being less than or equal to a predetermined time, handle the first piece and the second piece as the series of setting data.

6. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing a program causing a computer to execute a process comprising:

receiving setting data that is used for an operation of an information processing apparatus;

determining whether the received setting data is formatted according to an old specification;

determining whether the information processing apparatus has no setting data currently registered;

upon a determination that the received setting data is formatted according to the old specification and the information processing apparatus has no setting data registered, converting and storing the received setting data in a new format in a memory; and

upon a determination that the information processing apparatus has at least one piece of setting data corresponding to the received setting data already currently registered, prohibiting the received setting data from being stored in the new format in the memory.

7. An information processing apparatus comprising:

a memory;

means for receiving setting data that is used for an operation of the information processing apparatus;

means for determining whether the received setting data is formatted according to an old specification;

means for determining whether the information processing apparatus has no setting data currently registered;

means for, upon a determination that the received setting data is formatted according to the old specification and the information processing apparatus has no setting data registered, converting and storing the received setting data in a new format in the memory; and

means for, upon a determination that the information processing apparatus has at least one piece of setting data corresponding to the received setting data already currently registered, prohibiting the received setting data from being stored in the new format in the memory.
