Abstract:
An image forming apparatus prints a template sheet. The template sheet includes a graphical code and operation boxes. The graphical code includes information corresponding to a storage location address that stores information about settings for one or more image forming apparatuses. A user indicates what information is desired or to be changed on the image forming apparatus, marks it on the template sheet and scans the template sheet. Based on the instructions on the template sheet, information for settings is retrieved for an apparatus in a network. Maintenance information for the image forming apparatus also is retrieved using the template sheet and operation boxes.

Claim (Index 21):
A method for retrieving maintenance information about an image forming apparatus on a network, the method comprising:\n printing a template sheet for the image forming apparatus, wherein the template sheet includes a graphical code and a plurality of operation boxes related to a plurality of components within the image forming apparatus, and wherein the graphical code includes an identification information including a network address for the target image forming apparatus on the network; scanning the template sheet using a scanner at the image forming apparatus; identifying that at least one of the plurality of operation boxes is checked using a process on the image forming apparatus; determining that at least one component of the plurality of components that are checked on the image forming apparatus; retrieving maintenance information about the at least one component of the plurality of components within the image forming apparatus according to the graphical code and at least one of a checked operation box of the plurality of operation boxes by determining if a time is specified for an event one of the plurality of items within the image forming apparatus, and if the time is determined to be specified, retrieving the maintenance information related to the event within the specified time; and printing a maintenance report for the image forming apparatus, wherein the maintenance report includes the maintenance information.
