[0103]FIG. 4 shows an example of a user interface 160 provided by the controller 11 that runs the print manager program 16. The user interface 160 is displayed on the display 13, and the user, by operating the operation input unit 14 or by providing input into the operation input unit 14, can input to the user interface 160. Alternatively, the user interface 160 may be displayed on the display 23 of the image processing device 20 connected to the print manager device 10, and the user, by operating the operation input unit 24, can input to the user interface 160.
[0104]The user interface 160 is an example of an interface for displaying relevant information for each of multiple printers 30 managed by the print manager device 10, and for receiving input from the user. The user interface 160 in the example in FIG. 4 has three tabs 161, 162, 163 corresponding to the three printers 30 managed by the print manager device 10. The number of tabs is ...

[0152]A second example of the invention is described next. Note that the second and further examples are described below focusing on the differences with the examples described previously.
[0153]The printer 30 of the first example described above has storage 32 that stores the print settings information SI required for the printing process, but the printer 30 according to the second example of the invention does not locally store the print settings information SI. More specifically, in the second example, the print manager device 10 does not store, in the corresponding printers 30, the print settings information SI of the media files MF stored in the storage 12 relationally to the managed printers 30. Therefore, in the second example, the printers 30 do not store a print settings information table 320, and there is no need to synchronize the print settings information SI stored by the print manager device 10 with print settings information SI stored by the printers 30. In...

[0159]The third example differs from the first and second examples in that the image processing device 20 stores an image processing information table 220 (FIG. 1) in the storage 22.
[0160]The print manager device 10 stores the image processing information PI of each media file MF stored in the storage 12 relationally to each managed printer 30 in the image processing device 20. In other words, the image processing device 20 has storage 22 for storing the image processing information PI the print manager device 10 stores, and the storage 22 has an image processing information table 220 for storing the image processing information PI acquired from the print manager device 10.
[0161]In this example, the controller 11 sends, through the communication interface 15 to the image processing device 20, the image processing information PI of each media file MF stored in the storage 12 (second storage area) relationally to each managed printer 30, together with the media information...
