Image forming device displaying shortcut icon based on shortcut information stored in portable memory

An image forming device comprising:

• a user interface;
• a memory interface on which a portable memory can be detachably mounted;
• an image formation engine configured to form an image;
• and
• a controller,
• wherein the controller is configured to perform:
• an image formation process to form an image using the image formation engine;
• displaying a shortcut icon on the basis of a piece of shortcut information on the user interface, the piece of shortcut information specifying an image formation process and a settings value for the image formation process, the piece of shortcut information further specifying that the image formation process and the settings value are associated with the shortcut icon;
• in response to receiving a specific operation on the shortcut icon, controlling the image formation engine to perform the image formation process specified in the piece of shortcut information using the settings value specified in the piece of shortcut information;
• in response to receiving an operation, which is different from the specific operation, on the shortcut icon while the portable memory is mounted on the memory interface, copying the piece of shortcut information to the portable memory mounted on the memory interface so that the portable memory stores a copied piece of shortcut information;
• and
• in response to receiving an operation, which is different from the specific operation, on the shortcut icon while the portable memory is not mounted on the memory interface, editing the piece of shortcut information.

A system comprising:

• a first image forming device;
• and
• a second image forming device,
• wherein the first image forming device includes:
• a first user interface;
• a first memory interface on which a portable memory can be detachably mounted;
• a first image formation engine configured to form an image;
• and
• a first controller,
• wherein the second image forming device includes:
• a second user interface;
• a second memory interface on which the portable memory can be detachably mounted;
• a second image formation engine configured to form an image;
• and
• a second controller,
• wherein the first controller is configured to perform:
• an image formation process to form an image using the first image formation engine;
• displaying a shortcut icon on the basis of a piece of shortcut information on the first user interface;
• in response to receiving an operation on the shortcut icon, controlling the first image formation engine to perform an image formation process specified in the piece of shortcut information using a settings value specified in the piece of shortcut information;
• and
• in response to receiving an instruction via the first user interface, copying the piece of shortcut information to the portable memory mounted on the first memory interface so that the portable memory stores a copied piece of shortcut information,
• wherein the second controller is configured to perform:
• an image formation process to form an image using the second image formation engine;
• after the portable memory is mounted on the second memory interface, a shortcut process related to the copied piece of shortcut information;
• and
• after the shortcut process is complete, a displaying process to display on the second user interface a home screen in which a shortcut icon specified by the copied piece of shortcut information is arranged.
