Abstract
An image processing device, which can communicate with a distributor distributing setting information to plural image processors, comprises: a first receiver to receive, from the distributor, start information indicating that the distributor starts distributing the setting information to the plural image processors including the image processing device; a second receiver to receive the setting information distributed by the distributor; a detector to detect that the image processing device is operated by a user; and a controller to, in a case where it is detected by the detector that the image processing device is operated, request the distributor to distribute the setting information if the start information is received and the setting information is not received, and execute a process based on the operation detected by the detector if the start information is not received or the setting information is received.
