<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To solve the problem that although there exists the combination of firmware which should not be updated in the case of updating firmware in a distribution server which distributes firmware to an image forming apparatus, a load is applied to an operation to make the distribution server recognize the result, and that when the versions of the firmware become extremely large in number, a load is applied to an operation to individually set the possibility/impossibility of inter-version update. <P>SOLUTION: Although there exists the combination of firmware which should not be updated in the case of updating firmware in a distribution server for distributing firmware to an image forming apparatus, it is possible to automatically make such determination, and when the versions of the firmware become extremely large in number, it is possible to automatically perform an operation to individually set the possibility/impossibility of inter-version update. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the load of firmware registering operation to the distribution server. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
