    Abstract: Provided is an electronic apparatus that efficiently executes a setting change after setup completion. A reservation information management unit manages reservation information including a reservation date and time of a setting change after setup completion set by a setup terminal, and an IP address and/or a default gateway. A system control unit, after receiving a notification from the reservation information management unit indicating that the reservation date and time have been reached, executes a process of a setting change according to the contents of the setting change. In addition, the system control unit, after receiving the notification from the reservation information management unit, causes a panel unit to display a reservation notification screen, and after receiving the start of the setting change via the reservation notification screen, executes the process of the setting change.

    Abstract: Provided is an electronic apparatus that performs updating of firmware easily and reliably. An EEPROM stores firmware that is divided according to function and that controls standard installed functions that are correlated with model-identification information, and firmware that controls functions of optional apparatuses. A firmware-managing unit manages firmware information that includes the versions of the firmware. A system-control unit that, when there is an update instruction via the panel unit, requests an information-distributing server that distributes the most recent versions of the firmware to perform an update that includes the model-identification information. As a result, even when firmware that controls functions of added optional apparatuses is newly installed, the system-control unit can update the firmware that is stored in the EEPROM to the most recent versions of firmware downloaded from the information-distributing server.

    Abstract: An image forming apparatus is provided with a control circuit. The apparatus control platform where the control circuit manages the hardware resources on an operating system. The standard-application executing part executes the standard application using the managed hardware resources. The extended application platform makes the function of the standard application executed use, and makes the hardware resources use, and it has a standard application service interface part that provides the common interface corresponding to the function of the standard application as an interface for using the function of the standard application. The standard function service searches presence or absence of the standard application, and when the standard application does not present, cancels use of the standard function service from the extended application.

    Abstract: Load on a system is reduced.In an embodiment, a status information managing unit acquires data indicating the status of each functional unit to be transmitted to an apparatus management server, and a system control unit instructs data acquisition timing for acquiring the data to the status information managing unit. Moreover, the status information managing unit acquires data that changes over time according to the usage status, and acquires and caches, in advance, data that does not change over time according to the usage status. Furthermore, after receiving a transmission request from the apparatus management server, the system control unit transmits status information including cached data and acquired data. Thus, at the time of data transmission, only data that changes over time need be acquired, so the number of data to be acquired may be reduced.
