Abstract

A paper management system setting a paper information piece of paper stored in a sheet feeding unit in an image forming apparatus from a list of paper information pieces registers the paper information pieces with a favorite group, displays a list of the paper information pieces for each favorite group, and enables the list of the paper information pieces to be associated with a paper feed unit through the screen displaying the list.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. An information processing apparatus comprising;
a display configured to display sheet information registered with a sheet group; and
a controller configured to register, in a sheet holder, the sheet information registered with the sheet group,
wherein the display is configured to display a screen in which both a first object and a second object are included, where the first object is an object for setting a setting value included in the sheet information and the second object is an object for registering the sheet information with the sheet group.

2. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein, in displaying the screen, the display displays the screen such that the sheet information displayed is limited to, among pieces of the sheet information, the sheet information registered with the sheet group.

3. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein plural pieces of sheet information are able to be registered with one sheet group.

4. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the display is configured to display the screen in which both the sheet information and the second object are included.

5. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the setting value included in the sheet information is a sheet name.

6. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the setting value included in the sheet information is sheet grammage.

7. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the setting value included in the sheet information is a sheet color.

8. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the setting value included in the sheet information is sheet size.

9. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising a printer configured to convey a sheet from the sheet holder and to print an image on the conveyed sheet.

10. The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the sheet group is a favorite.

11. A method for controlling an information processing apparatus, the method comprising:
displaying sheet information registered with a sheet group; and
registering, in a sheet holder, the sheet information registered with the sheet group,
wherein displaying includes displaying a screen in which both a first object and a second object are included, where the first object is an object for setting a setting value included in the sheet information and the second object is an object for registering the sheet information with the sheet group.

12. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program to cause a computer to perform a method for controlling an information processing apparatus, the method comprising:
displaying sheet information registered with a sheet group; and
registering, in a sheet holder, the sheet information registered with the sheet group,
wherein displaying includes displaying a screen in which both a first object and a second object are included, where the first object is an object for setting a setting value included in the sheet information and the second object is an object for registering the sheet information with the sheet group.
