PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming apparatus that, even in the event of integration and abolition of setting values of the image forming apparatus, can easily take over the setting values before and after the integration and abolition, a control method of the image forming apparatus, and a program.SOLUTION: In a new-model image forming apparatus 101, a setting value management unit 301 performs management by classifying a plurality of setting values including setting values classified into a first category for the old model (for example, authentication setting for function A, authentication setting for function B, and the like) into a second category for the new model (for example, as integrated authentication settings). An application management unit 311 performs management by supporting only the import of the setting values classified into the first category. An export management unit 313, when receiving the input of an instruction of export processing, performs the export processing to the setting values excluding the setting values only the import of which is supported by the application management unit 311, from among the indicated setting values. |
