Information processing apparatus

A method of controlling re-execution of an information processing apparatus,

• the information processing apparatus including:
• an operation device that allows a predetermined input operation to be performed;
• a key activation setter that sets whether to enable or disable the predetermined input operation;
• a function executer that executes a function selected by the operation device;
• and a storage that stores immediately preceding setting information including setting values of setting items of a function executed immediately before,
• the operation device including a re-execution key for re-executing a function identical to the function executed immediately before, and a setting change key for changing setting contents of setting items for executing the function selected,
• the method comprising:
• selecting, through the operation device, a function to be executed;
• after the function selected is executed by the function executer, storing setting values of setting items used when the function selected is executed, in the storage as the immediately preceding setting information, and
• enabling, with the key activation setter, an input operation with at least one or both of the re-execution key and the setting change key, for a fixed time period;
• if, within a time period during which an input operation with the re-execution key is enabled, the input operation with the re-execution key is performed, re-executing a function identical to the function executed immediately before with contents identical to the setting values of the setting items contained in the immediately preceding setting information;
• and
• if, within a time period during which an input operation with the setting change key is enabled, the input operation with the setting change key is performed, setting the setting values of the setting items contained in the immediately preceding setting information to be changeable, and if the setting values of the setting items are changed through the operation device, updating the immediately preceding setting information.
