Abstract

There is provided an information processor capable of preventing an unintended operation from being caused by configuration information set in the information processor being updated even if the information processor such as a multi-function peripheral receives configuration information from outside during execution of a job, as well as capable of (1) making it possible to know that update has not been performed, (2) making it possible to externally confirm that update has not been performed and (3) updating the configuration information as soon as possible after the job ends; and an information processing method. If configuration information is inputted from an external device via an EthernetÒ 1008 or the like, the information processor included in a multi-function peripheral 1001 or the like determines whether the information processor is executing a job. If it is determined that the information processor is not executing a job, then the received configuration information is recorded and the configuration information is updated. If it is determined that the information processor is executing a job, then the receiving operation is terminated.
