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.
Claims1
An image processing apparatus that manages different setting value groups associated with a plurality of use environments, the 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:
- accept a selection of one of a plurality of items associated with the plurality of use environments;
- accept an instruction to estimate a use environment of the image processing apparatus;
- upon reception of the estimation instruction, estimate a use environment of the image processing apparatus based on information acquired by the image processing apparatus;
- and
- issue a notification of a result of the estimation,
- wherein the result of the estimation is at least one use environment included in the plurality of use environments.
