Abstract
Provided is an image forming device which is capable of connecting an external storage device. After the external storage device has been connected to the image forming device, the image forming device performs a software installation based on setting data acquired from the external storage device. The image forming device stores a script for executing steps required for the executed software installation in ordered sequence in the external storage device. When the script has already been stored in the external storage device upon connection of the external storage device to the image forming device, the image forming device performs the software installation by implementing the steps in the ordered sequence in accordance with the script.
Claims11
A device that is capable of connecting an external storage device, the device comprising:
- a setting unit configured to, after the external storage device has been connected to the device, perform a software installation on the device based on setting data acquired from the external storage device;
- and
- a storage control unit configured to store a script for executing steps required for the software installation executed by the setting unit in ordered sequence in the external storage device,
- wherein, when the script has already been stored in the external storage device upon connection of the external storage device to the device, the setting unit performs the software installation by implementing the steps in the ordered sequence in accordance with the script.
A method for installing software on a device which is capable of connecting an external storage device, the method comprising:
- performing a software installation on the device based on setting data acquired from the external storage device after the external storage device has been connected to the device;
- and
- storing a script for executing steps required for the software installation executed in the setting in ordered sequence in the external storage device,
- wherein, when the script has already been stored in the external storage device upon connection of the external storage device to the device, the software installation is performed in the setting by implementing the steps in the ordered sequence in accordance with the script.
A non-transitory storage medium on which is stored a computer program for making a computer execute a method for installing software on a device which is capable of connecting an external storage device, the method comprising:
- performing a software installation on the device based on setting data acquired from the external storage device after the external storage device has been connected to the device;
- and
- storing a script for executing steps required for the software installation executed in the setting in ordered sequence in the external storage device,
- wherein, when the script has already been stored in the external storage device upon connection of the external storage device to the device, the software installation is performed in the setting by implementing the steps in the ordered sequence in accordance with the script.
