Information processing device, image forming apparatus, non-transitory computer readable medium, and information processing method

A non-transitory computer readable medium storing an information processing program causing a computer to execute a process, the process comprising:

• accepting a user's specification of one item of setup information from among a plurality of items of setup information associated with a recording medium and a print setup item;
• determining whether the specified setup information and the recording medium associated with the specified setup information are the same as setup information and a recording medium used in a previous printing;
• in a case where the setup information specified by the user and the recording medium associated with the specified setup information are determined to be the same as the setup information and the recording medium used in the previous printing, outputting print data to which the setup information is applied, without accepting necessity or lack thereof to use preferred setup information;
• in a case where there is the preferred setup information that is another item of setup information associated with a same recording medium as a recording medium associated with the specified setup information, and that has a higher preference than the specified setup information, accepting necessity or lack thereof to use the preferred setup information;
• and
• upon acceptance of use of the preferred setup information, outputting print data to which the preferred setup information is applied.
