As described above, when the printer selected in the screen 36 is an MFP, the same MFP is registered as the scanner in the printer registration process. In this case, the device name of this MFP is displayed in a field 40a as the device name of the scanner, without the user having to perform an operation to register the scanner.
However, when a scanner has not yet been registered or when the user wishes to change the registered scanner, the user can select a scanner according to the same method described above for selecting a printer. Since the screen used to select a scanner has essentially the same configuration as the screen used for selecting a printer (the screen 36), a description of this screen will not be included here.
