Abstract

An information processing apparatus includes a setting unit configured to set a setting of the information processing apparatus, a status display unit configured to display a message indicating a status of the information processing apparatus, and a display control unit configured to display, in a case where a setting changed by the setting unit is in an unreflected state, a message indicating that the setting is an unreflected setting on the status display unit.

First claim

What is claimed:

1. A printing apparatus comprising:
a display which is able to display a plurality of screens, wherein each of the plurality of screens has a status display area for displaying a status of the printing apparatus;
a user interface which receives a new setting value of the printing apparatus from a user being logged in to the printing apparatus and receives an instruction for changing a predetermined setting value of the printing apparatus into the new setting value from the user; and
a controller which reboots the printing apparatus to change the predetermined setting value into the new setting value in accordance with the instruction,
wherein, before the user interface receives the instruction after the user interface receives the new setting value, the controller controls the display to display a message indicating that the predetermined setting value is not changed in the status display area,
wherein, before the user interface receives the instruction after the user interface receives the new setting value, the controller controls the display to display the message in the status display area even if another user different from the user logs in to the printing apparatus.

2. The printing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the controller controls the display to display the message before the controller reboots the printing apparatus.

3. The printing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the controller determines whether there is the predetermined setting value that is not changed, and controls the display to display the message in the status display area based on determining that there is the predetermined setting value that is not changed.

4. The printing apparatus according to claim 3 , wherein the controller determines whether there is the predetermined setting value that is not changed when the another user different from the user logs in to the printing apparatus.

5. The printing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the controller changes the message to be displayed in the status display area based on a type of a user being logged in to the printing apparatus.

6. The printing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the controller controls the display to display an item before the user interface receives the instruction after the user interface receives the new setting value, and reboots the printing apparatus based on selection of the item.

7. The printing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the plurality of screens includes a menu screen for selecting one function from among a plurality of functions at least including a print function and a scan function.

8. The printing apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising a setting key to display a setting screen for receiving the new setting value of the printing apparatus, wherein the plurality of screens include the setting screen.
