Information processing apparatus, recording apparatus, determination method of printing medium, and storage medium

A method for an information processing apparatus, the method comprising:

• acquiring a measurement result obtained by measuring a characteristic of a printing medium on which recording is to be performed, and acquiring a characteristic reference range which indicates a range of a value of characteristic of a printing medium, of each of types of printing media set in advance to identify a type of printing medium of which the characteristic has been measured;
• performing control to extract, based on the acquired measurement result and the acquired characteristic reference range, a type of a candidate printing medium usingwhich the characteristic reference range including the measurement result and performing control to notify information indicating the type of the candidate printing medium;
• inputting information corresponding to a type of printing medium on which recording is to be performed, wherein the type of printing medium on which recording is to be performed has a first reference range which is the characteristic reference range corresponding to the input information;
• and
• extending the first reference range.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program to cause a computer to perform a method for an information processing apparatus, the method comprising:

• acquiring a measurement result obtained by measuring a characteristic of a printing medium on which recording is to be performed, and acquiring a characteristic reference range which indicates a range of a value of characteristic of a printing medium, of each of types of printing media set in advance to identify a type of printing medium of which the characteristic has been measured;
• performing control to extract, based on the acquired measurement result and the acquired characteristic reference range, a type of a candidate printing medium which the characteristic reference range including the measurement result and performing control to notify information indicating the type of the candidate printing medium;
• inputting information corresponding to a type of printing medium on which recording is to be performed, wherein the type of printing medium on which recording is to be performed has a first reference range which is the characteristic reference range corresponding to the input information;
• and
• extending the first reference range.
