Abstract:
An operating panel of an image forming apparatus obtains a serial number of a main unit of the image forming apparatus upon being connected to the main unit. If a pre-stored serial number of the main unit is different from the obtained serial number, the operating panel deletes all applications installed in the operating panel, stores the serial number of the main unit in the operating panel, and then installs applications on the basis of application information present in the main unit.
