Abstract
A computer-readable storage medium storing a program for causing a computer to execute a control method of an information processing apparatus includes acquiring first sheet information registered in a first sheet storage unit of a first image forming apparatus and second sheet information registered in a second sheet storage unit of a second image forming apparatus, and displaying, on a display unit in an identifiable manner, that the first sheet information acquired is sheet information registered in the first sheet storage unit and that the second sheet information acquired is sheet information registered in the second sheet storage unit.
Claims19
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program for causing a computer to execute a control method for controlling an information processing apparatus, the control method comprising:
- acquiring first sheet information registered in a first sheet storage of a first image forming apparatus and second sheet information registered in a second sheet storage of a second image forming apparatus;
- and
- causing a display device to display a screen having images of the first and second image forming apparatuses,
- wherein the image of the first image forming apparatus is displayed as an external appearance of the first image forming apparatus and the image of the second image forming apparatus is displayed as an external appearance of the second image forming apparatus, and
- wherein, in a manner identifiable to a user, the first sheet information is displayed as superimposed on an image of the first sheet storage of the first image forming apparatus and the second sheet information is displayed as superimposed on an image of the second sheet storage of the second image forming apparatus.
An information processing apparatus comprising:
- an acquisition interface configured to acquire first sheet information registered in a first sheet storage of a first image forming apparatus and second sheet information registered in a second sheet storage of a second image forming apparatus;
- and
- a display device configured to display a screen having images of the first and second image forming apparatuses,
- wherein the display device is configured to display on the screen the image of the first image forming apparatus as an external appearance of the first image forming apparatus, and the image of the second image forming apparatus as an external appearance of the second image forming apparatus, and
- wherein, in a manner identifiable to a user, the display device is configured to display on the screen the first sheet information as superimposed on an image of the first sheet storage of the first image forming apparatus and the second sheet information as superimposed on an image of the second sheet storage of the second image forming apparatus.
A control method for controlling an information processing apparatus, the control method comprising:
- acquiring first sheet information registered in a first sheet storage of a first image forming
- apparatus and second sheet information registered in a second sheet storage of a second image forming apparatus;
- and
- causing a display device to display a screen having images of the first and second image forming apparatuses,
- wherein the image of the first image forming apparatus is displayed as an external appearance of the first image forming apparatus, and the image of the second image forming apparatus is displayed as an external appearance of the second image forming apparatus, and
- wherein, in a manner identifiable to a user, the first sheet information is displayed as superimposed on an image of the first sheet storage of the first image forming apparatus and the second sheet information is displayed as superimposed on an image of the second sheet storage of the second image forming apparatus.
