AUTOMATIC INSTALLATION SYSTEM AND METHOD, INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS, AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS

摘要

A project management program in a client computer associates attribute information with each of individual data, and generates a script containing a step of selecting that attribute information. An automatic installation program for an image forming apparatus executes the script and applies the individual data associated with an attribute specified through an operating panel.

主权项

1. An automatic installation system comprising an information processing apparatus that generates a program for setting configuration information in one or more newly-installed image forming apparatuses and at least one image forming apparatus in which the configuration information is set by executing the generated program, the information processing apparatus including:
an obtaining unit that obtains the configuration information to be set in an image forming apparatus to be configured; a generating unit that, in the case where the obtained configuration information includes individual configuration information set individually in the image forming apparatus to be configured and the individual configuration information is associated with an identifier of the individual configuration information, generates a first individual setting command for setting the individual configuration information in association with an input identifier when setting the configuration information in the image forming apparatus; and a storing unit that stores a program including the generated first individual setting command and the individual configuration information in a medium, and each of the at least one image forming apparatus loading the program, and including: an input unit that accepts an input of the identifier in the case where the first individual setting command is included; and a setting unit that sets the individual configuration information associated with the input identifier as the configuration information of the image forming apparatus.
