and displaying a selection screen to select a print setting for print data transmitted to the image forming apparatus among the stored plurality of print settings to receive the selected print setting by a user, wherein the plurality of print settings displayed on the selection screen are controlled based on a type of the print data. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The method according to claim 1, wherein the type of the print data is a file extension. ### Claim 3 (depends on 2) The method according to claim 2, wherein if the file extension corresponds to a file extension for image data, the selection screen does not display print settings including at least one of a setting for monochrome printing, a setting for aggregating a plurality of pages into one page, a setting using a staple, and a setting for saddle folding. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The method according to claim 1, wherein the type of the print data is determined based on the number of pages. ### Claim 5 (depends on 4) The method according to claim 4, wherein if the number of pages is a single page, the selection screen does not display print settings including at least one of a setting for aggregating a plurality of pages into one page, a setting using a staple, and a setting for saddle folding. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The method according to claim 1, further comprising specifying the print data, wherein the print data transmitted to the image forming apparatus is the specified print data or the print data transmitted from an application deployed on the information processing apparatus. ### Claim 7 (depends on 1) The method according to claim 1, wherein a preview screen of the print data is displayed based on the print setting selected on the selection screen. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The method according to claim 1, wherein a default setting is used for the print data if there is no print setting displayed on the selection screen among the plurality of print settings controlled based on the type of the print data. ### Claim 9 (depends on 1) The method according to claim 1, wherein the print settings are restricted on the selection screen based on the type of print data. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The method according to claim 1, wherein the selection screen is displayed in response to selecting the print data transmitted to the image forming apparatus. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) The method according to claim 1, wherein the print setting selected on the selection screen and the print data are transmitted to the image forming apparatus. ### Claim 12 (depends on 1) The method according to claim 1, wherein the print setting includes a setting value corresponding to each of the plurality of settings. ### Claim 13 An information processing apparatus transmitting print data and a print setting to an image forming apparatus, the information processing apparatus comprising: a memory; and at least one processor in communication with the memory, wherein the at least one processor is configured to perform: storing a plurality of print settings; and displaying a selection screen to select a print setting for print data transmitted to the image forming apparatus among the stored plurality of print settings to receive the selected print setting by a user, wherein the plurality of print settings displayed on the selection screen are controlled based on a type of the print data. ### Claim 14 A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing program to cause a computer to perform a method for controlling an information processing apparatus transmitting print data and a print setting to an image forming apparatus, the method comprising: storing a plurality of print settings; and displaying a selection screen to select a print setting for print data transmitted to the image forming apparatus among the stored plurality of print settings to receive the selected print setting by a user, wherein the plurality of print settings displayed on the selection screen are controlled based on a type of the print data.
