Printing apparatus that receives selection result of use environment of the printing apparatus and further configures settings in association with selected use environment, control method, and non-transitory storage medium

A printing apparatus comprising:

• a reception unit configured to receive information indicating an environment where the printing apparatus is assumed to be used for working from home as a selection result specifying a use environment of the printing apparatus;
• and
• a setting change unit configured to change a setting value of the printing apparatus based on a setting value group including a plurality of setting values corresponding to a plurality of setting items including a security setting item of the printing apparatus associated with the information indicating the environment where the printing apparatus is assumed to be used for working from home as the selection result,
• wherein the security setting item of the printing apparatus includes a setting item related to a device management protocol to be used by an administrator and a setting item related to a password used on the printing apparatus.

A control method of a printing apparatus including a storage unit, the storage unit being configured to store a first setting value group including a first plurality of setting values corresponding to a first plurality of setting items in association with a first use environment, and a second setting value group including a second plurality of setting values corresponding to a second plurality of setting items in association with a second use environment, the control method comprising:

• receiving information indicating a selection result specifying a use environment of the printing apparatus;
• specifying, as the use environment of the printing apparatus, the first use environment or the second use environment based on the information indicating the selection result;
• and
• changing a setting value of the printing apparatus based on the first setting value group or the second setting value group stored in association with the specified use environment in the storage unit,
• wherein the first plurality of setting items includes a security setting item relating to printing,
• wherein the first plurality of setting values is at least in part different from the second plurality of setting values, and
• wherein in a case where the specified use environment is changed from the first use environment to the second use environment, the setting change unit is further configured to:
• based on the second setting value group, confirm a value, set before the first use environment is specified, for a setting item included in the first plurality of setting items, and
• set the confirmed value for the setting item.

A non-transitory storage medium storing a computer program for performing a control method of a printing apparatus including a storage unit, the storage unit being configured to store a first setting value group including a first plurality of setting values corresponding to a first plurality of setting items in association with a first use environment, and a second setting value group including a second plurality of setting values corresponding to a second plurality of setting items in association with a second use environment, the control method comprising:

• receiving information indicating a selection result specifying a use environment of the printing apparatus;
• specifying, as the use environment of the printing apparatus, the first use environment or the second use environment based on the information indicating the selection result;
• and
• changing a setting value of the printing apparatus based on the first setting value group or the second setting value group stored in association with the specified use environment in the storage unit,
• wherein the first plurality of setting items includes a security setting item relating to printing,
• wherein the first plurality of setting values is at least in part different from the second plurality of setting values, and
• wherein in a case where the specified use environment is changed from the first use environment to the second use environment, the setting change unit is further configured to:
• based on the second setting value group, confirm a value, set before the first use environment is specified, for a setting item included in the first plurality of setting items, and
• set the confirmed value for the setting item.
