Abstract
An MFP as an information processing apparatus stores a setting data group as a combination of at least one setting item and a setting value corresponding to the at least one setting item for each of a plurality of division categories. The MFP acquires a plurality of network settings acquired from outside and/or set in the MFP. The MFP estimates the category corresponding to the use environment of the MFP from among the plurality of categories based on the plurality of obtained network settings. Lastly, the MFP changes operation settings of the MFP based on the setting data group stored in association with the estimated category.
Claims9
An image processing apparatus comprising:
- one or more memories;
- and
- one or more processors in communication with the one or more memories, wherein the one or more processors and the one or more memories cooperate to cause the image processing apparatus to:
- display, on a screen, a first object for receiving an instruction to estimate a use environment of the image processing apparatus from among a plurality of use environments and a second object including the plurality of use environments for receiving a selection of a use environment from among the plurality of use environments;
- receive the instruction to estimate a use environment of the image processing apparatus from among the plurality of use environments by using the first object;
- estimate a use environment of the image processing apparatus from among the plurality of use environments based on an address of an external device acquired by the image processing apparatus;
- and
- display, on the screen, the use environment estimated from among the plurality of use environments in addition to the first object for receiving the instruction to estimate a use environment from among the plurality of use environments and the second object including the plurality of use environments for receiving the selection of a use environment from among the plurality of use environments;
- receive the selection of a use environment from among the plurality of use environments by using the second object;
- and
- set values corresponding to the selected use environment to the image processing apparatus.
