Abstract
A system includes first and second image forming devices including first and second controllers respectively. The first controller displays a shortcut icon on the basis of shortcut information. The shortcut information specifies that an image formation process and a settings value thereof are associated with a shortcut icon. In response to receiving an operation on the shortcut icon, the controller controls a first image formation engine to perform an image formation process specified in the shortcut information using the settings value specified in the shortcut information. In response to receiving an instruction, the first controller copies the shortcut information to the portable memory so that the portable memory stores copied shortcut information. After the portable memory is mounted on the second image forming device, the second controller performs a shortcut process related to the copied shortcut information.
