Abstract
A system includes first and second image forming devices including first and second controllers respectively. The first controller generates a piece of shortcut information specifying an image formation process and a settings value for the image formation process both associated with a shortcut icon. The first controller displays the shortcut icon on the basis of the shortcut information. In response to receiving an operation on the shortcut icon, the first controller performs the image formation process specified in the shortcut information using the settings value specified in the shortcut information. The first controller copies the piece of shortcut information to the portable memory mounted on a first memory interface in the first image forming device. After the portable memory is mounted on a second memory interface in the second image forming device, second controller performs a shortcut process related to the copied piece of shortcut information.
