Information processing apparatus, printing apparatus, and information processing method

An information processing apparatus comprising:

• a usage history acquisition unit configured to acquire usage history information indicating, for a printing medium, a printing medium type that has been printed with a printing unit;
• a decision unit configured to decide a candidate for a type of the printing medium based on the usage history information;
• and
• an input unit configured to input information associated with the printing medium type to be printed with the printing unit,
• wherein the input unit further is configured to input information to reset the usage history information indicating the printing medium type that has been printed with the printing unit.

An information processing apparatus comprising:

• an acquisition unit configured to acquire a measurement result obtained by measuring a characteristic value of a printing medium with a measuring unit, wherein the printing medium is to be printed with a printing unit;
• a decision unit configured to decide a candidate for a type of the printing medium based on the acquired measurement result, and a reference characteristic value of each of types of printing media set in advance to identify a type of the measured printing medium;
• an input unit configured to input information associated with the printing medium type to be printed with the printing unit;
• and
• a change unit configured to change information,
• wherein the input unit further is configured to input information about a printing apparatus including the printing unit for controlling the printing apparatus and to input information indicating that changed information about the printing apparatus is reset,
• wherein, in a case where the information about the printing apparatus is input by the input unit, the change unit changes the information about the printing apparatus in accordance with the input associated information and sets the changed information about the printing apparatus, and
• wherein, in a case where the information indicating that the changed information about the printing apparatus is reset is input by the input unit, the change unit resets the information about the printing apparatus.

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

• measuring a characteristic value of a printing medium to be printed with a printing unit;
• extracting a candidate for a type of the printing medium measured based on the measured characteristic value, and a reference characteristic value set in advance for each of types of printing media to identify a type of the measured printing medium;
• inputting information associated with the printing medium type to be printed with the printing unit;
• and
• changing the reference characteristic value of the printing medium type associated with the information input in determining the printing medium type, based on the measured characteristic value,
• wherein inputting further includes inputting information indicating that the reference characteristic value changed by the change unit is reset.

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

• acquiring usage history information indicating, for a printing medium, a printing medium type that has been printed with a printing unit;
• extracting a candidate for a type of the printing medium based on the usage history information;
• and
• inputting information associated with the printing medium type to be printed with the printing unit,
• wherein inputting further includes inputting information to reset the usage history information indicating the printing medium type that has been printed with the printing unit.

• inputting information associated with the printing medium type to be printed with the printing unit;
• and
• changing information,
• wherein inputting further includes inputting information about a printing apparatus including the printing unit for controlling the printing apparatus and inputting information indicating that changed information about the printing apparatus is reset,
• wherein, in a case where the information about the printing apparatus is input, changing includes changing the information about the printing apparatus in accordance with the input associated information and sets the changed information about the printing apparatus, and
• wherein, in a case where the information indicating that the changed information about the printing apparatus is reset is input, changing includes resetting the information about the printing apparatus.
