Abstract: A management server stores box data received from an image forming apparatus as an export side, generates box configuration data that indicates the box data, upon receiving an import request of the box data from an image forming apparatus as an import side, transmits the box configuration data, and transmits the box data after the transmission of the box configuration data. The image forming apparatus as the import side transmits the import request, receives and saves the box configuration data and thereby registers the box configuration data to the box function, and receives and saves the box data after the receipt and the saving of the box configuration data. The image forming apparatus as the import side displays a list of the box data regardless of whether the box data has been received or not after registering the box configuration data.
