In an MFP, use history information collecting functions frequently used user by user and combination information collecting combinations of functions set by users are received from a server and stored in a use history management table and a function combination management table. When a mode is selected by a logged-in user, the use history management table is read and a function highly frequently used by the user is displayed on a touch-panel. When the selected function is established, the function combination management table is read, and a function or functions frequently combined with the established function are displayed on the touch-panel. When a job ends, the selected combination of functions is transmitted to the server.
