Abstract

To prevent a situation where, when an MFP and a DFE connected to the MFP are connected to the same network, operation information on actually one MFP is displayed as if it is operation information on separate MFPs.SOLUTION: An information collection PC 104 performs a search in a network 106, and when an MFP 101 and a DFE 102 connected to the MFP 101 and transmitting print data to the MFP 101 are found out through the search, collects and stores operation information from any one of the MFP 101 and the DFE 102.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1
