Information processing apparatus, image forming apparatus, control method, and storage medium for calculating environmental load in producing printed product

An image forming apparatus configured to perform a job to form an image on a recording medium and store a history of the job, wherein

• the history includes information on a printing job that has been normally completed and information on a related job related to the normally completed printing job,
• the image forming apparatus comprising:
• one or more processors;
• and
• at least one memory coupled to the one or more processors and storing instructions that, when executed by the one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:
• calculating a first amount of carbon dioxide emissions generated when the normally completed printing job is performed;
• calculating a second amount of carbon dioxide emissions generated when the related job is performed;
• adding up the first amount of carbon dioxide emissions and the second amount of carbon dioxide emissions;
• and
• storing a sum of the first amount and the second amount as a total amount of carbon dioxide emissions associated with the normally completed printing job.

A control method for an information processing apparatus configured to receive a job history from an image forming apparatus that performs a job to form an image on a recording medium, wherein

• the job history includes information on a printing job that has been normally completed and information on a related job related to the normally completed printing job,
• the control method comprising:
• calculating a first amount of carbon dioxide emissions generated when the normally completed printing job is performed;
• calculating a second amount of carbon dioxide emissions generated when the related job is performed;
• adding up the first amount of carbon dioxide emissions and the second amount of carbon dioxide emissions;
• and
• storing a sum of the first amount and the second amount as a total amount of carbon dioxide emissions associated with the normally completed printing job.
