Abstract:
An image forming apparatus compares device identification information acquired from XML setting information received from a connected device with device identification information of the image forming apparatus, and determines an import level based on a comparison result. The image forming apparatus extracts a setting according to the import level using each module of a plurality of applications for the image forming apparatus, and stores the extracted setting in a storage that is used for control performed in each application. The device identification information that determines the import level includes at least one of firmware version, destination information, user editing information, accessory connection information, and license information, in addition to model management number and machine body management number.

Claim (Index 1):
An image forming apparatus configured to control a plurality of applications according to setting information, the image forming apparatus comprising:\n a storage unit configured to store, in a temporary region, setting information, described in Extensible Markup Language (XML), that is received from a connected device; an acquisition unit configured to acquire device identification information from the setting information stored in the temporary region; a determination unit configured to compare the device identification information acquired by the acquisition unit with device identification information of the image forming apparatus and to determine an import level used to reflect each setting included in the setting information stored in the temporary region; and a storing unit configured to extract a setting to be reflected according to the import level from the stored setting information using each module of the plurality of applications, and to store the extracted setting in a storage that is used for control performed in each application, wherein the device identification information that determines the import level includes at least one of firmware version, destination information, user editing information, accessory connection information, and license information, in addition to model management number and machine body management number.
