Abstract:
Provided is a system including a first image forming apparatus and an information processing apparatus connected via a network. When a second image forming apparatus is added to the network, the second image forming apparatus generates parent setting information indicating that the first image forming apparatus previously connected to the network is its parent, and transmits the parent setting information to the first image forming apparatus. The first image forming apparatus generates parent-child relationship setting information indicating a parent-child relationship between the first image forming apparatus and the second image forming apparatus, based on the parent setting information from the second image forming apparatus. The information processing apparatus registers the second image forming apparatus as a new output destination, based on information of the second image forming apparatus.
