Abstract
A processing method is for transferring a job to execute an image process by changing a subject of an agreement from a first image processing device to a second image processing device. In the method, a first controller of the first device acquires identification information for the second device from an external device. The first controller stores, in the external memory connected to a first connector of the first device, the acquired identification information and job information specifying a job to perform an image process. Subsequently to connection of the external memory to a second connector of the second device, a second controller of the second device determines whether the identification information in the external memory matches identification information for the second device. When the identification information matches, the second controller executes the image process with the subject of agreement changed to the second device.
