Abstract
An image formation device includes a controller, a storage, and an image former. The storage has a first storage area and a second storage area. The first storage area stores a setting value to be referred to during an operation of the image formation device. The second storage area stores management information to which a group policy is applied. The controller, when the management information was able to be acquired from an external portion, sets the setting value based on the acquired management information, and, when the management information was not able to be acquired from the external portion, sets the setting value based on the management information stored in the second storage area.
