IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, METHOD FOR CONTROLLING IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

摘要

In an image forming apparatus of a new model, a setting value management unit manages a plurality of setting values including setting values classified into a first category for an old model, by classifying the plurality of setting values into a second category for the new model. Further, an application management unit manages the setting values classified into the first category so that only import is supported. When an instruction for export processing is input, an export management unit determines setting values obtained by excluding setting values of which only import is supported by the application management unit from setting values specified by the instruction, as setting values to be subjected to export processing.

1. An image forming apparatus that manages setting values by using a second category different from a first category for classifying a plurality of setting values of image forming apparatuses of different models, the image forming apparatus comprising:
a management unit configured to manage a plurality of setting values including setting values classified into the first category, by classifying the plurality of setting values into the second category; and a first control unit configured to control import processing on the setting values classified into the first category, wherein, when an instruction for setting value export processing is input, the management unit determines setting values obtained by excluding setting values to be subjected to the import processing by the first control unit from setting values specified by the instruction, as setting values to be subjected to export processing.
