Systems and methods for managing settings of a plurality of image processing devices

A processing device comprising:

• an interface configured to facilitate communication with a server and a second processing device;
• a memory configured to store (i) first model information indicating a first model of the processing device and (ii) an unapplied list;
• and
• a processor configured to:
• receive ID information from the second processing device through the interface,
• acquire second model information from the ID information;
• determine whether a setting content of an ID included in the ID information is already applied to the processing device in response to the second model information matching the first model information stored in the memory,
• store the ID included in the ID information in the unapplied list if the setting content is not applied to the processing device, and
• transmit a notification through the interface to the server indicating that the setting content is not applied to the processing device.

A method that is executed by a processor of an information processing device, the method comprising:

• receiving setting information from a server, the setting information including a first ID for identifying a first setting content;
• applying the first setting content;
• transmitting first ID information including first model information stored in a memory and the first ID to a second information processing device;
• receiving second ID information from the second information processing device;
• acquiring second model information from the second ID information;
• determining whether a second setting content of a second ID included in the second ID information is already applied to the information processing device in response to the second model information matching the first model information stored in the memory;
• and
• transmitting a notification to the server indicating that the second setting content is not applied to the server if the second content is not applied to the information processing device.
