An information processing system, comprising:

• a first apparatus;
• and
• a second apparatus capable of accessing the first apparatus,
• wherein the second apparatus includes
• a storing unit storing a plurality of pieces of screen information, each corresponding to a type of the first apparatus,
• a transmitting unit configured to transmit the screen information to the first apparatus,
• a receiving unit configured to receive an instruction request that is based on the screen information displayed in the first apparatus, and
• an executing unit configured to execute processing in response to the instruction request received by the receiving unit,
• wherein the screen information includes a common section that is common among the plurality of pieces of screen information regardless of the type of the first apparatus and a difference section that differs among the plurality of pieces of screen information depending on the type of the first apparatus,
• wherein the screen information stored in the storing unit includes first screen information for displaying a reload object and second screen information for not displaying the reload object, the reload object allowing data on a display screen of the external device to return to an initial setting and
