PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To enable an image processor of a registration object to participate in a group without individually and manually inputting a communication address of the image processor of a registration object which is desired to be registered in the group to each image processor in the group.SOLUTION: Image processors 100a to 100c belonging to the same group 1 have a communication address on a network 200 of the respective image processors 100a to 100c as group information. When an image processor 100g is going to be registered in the group 1, a user inputs a registration instruction including the communication address of one image processor (for example, 100a) in the group 1 to the image processor 100g. The image processor 100g sends a registration request including own communication address to the image processor 100a in accordance with the input of the registration instruction. The image processor 100a adds the communication address included in the registration request to own group information, and transfers the communication address to the other communication addresses in the group information.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 |
