An image forming device includes a print unit, a reception data analysis unit that makes the print unit execute a first process when an operation mode of the image forming device is a previously provided standard operation mode, a control unit, and an additional module processing unit that executes an additional module and thereby makes the print unit execute a second process when the operation mode is an additional operation mode. The control unit sets the operation mode to the standard operation mode in a case where the additional module has not been installed at a time of startup of the image forming device and sets the operation mode to the additional operation mode in a case where the additional module has been installed at the time of startup of the image forming device.

A search device is provided that extracts and stores field data from document data and displays a search result in a two-dimensional coordinate system whose axes are freely chosen by a user. The search device has a data input unit for inputting input data to the search device, a field extraction unit for extracting field data from the input data, a data storage unit for storing the field data and the input data associated with the field data, a search word input unit for inputting a search word, a search processing unit for searching the field data in the data storage unit based on the inputted search word and for retrieving the input data associated with the found field data, and a display unit for displaying an icon, representing the input data found by the search processing unit, at a position in a coordinate system.

An image forming device for obtaining image data and forming an image includes a functional limitation part configured to set a functional limitation for a function provided by the image forming device; a batch operating part configured to register a series of the functions as one batch operation; a judging part configured to judge whether or not the batch operation registered by the batch operating part is executable when the functional limitation part adds a new limitation to or changes setting contents of the functional limitation; and an alternative operation generating part configured to generate an alternative batch operation that is an alternative of the batch operation when the batch operation is judged inexecutable.
