Zusammenfassung:Menus to be executed by an individual multifunction apparatus are pre-registered in a distribution server for each multifunction apparatus. When the distribution server receives a menu screen obtaining request, a model code, and a sort key from one of the multifunction apparatus, the distribution server accesses a multifunction apparatus menu registration table of the requesting multifunction apparatus and sorts the order of menus according to the sort key. Then, the distribution server transmits the sorted menu screen back to the multifunction apparatus. The multifunction apparatus displays the sorted menu screen, received from the distribution server, on an LCD of a panel. The order of the displayed menus is based on the order specified by the sort key.
