Abstract
An image forming apparatus has a storage unit that provides a folder with which print setting information is associated, and an image forming unit for forming an image on a sheet. The present image forming apparatus transmits, to an external apparatus, screen information for causing a screen for accepting a designation of a print file to be transferred to the image forming apparatus in association with the folder to be displayed. The screen enables acceptance of a temporary setting that is applied in preference to print setting information stored in the folder in advance. Also, the present image forming apparatus causes the image forming unit to execute image formation based on the print file transferred in association with the folder, in accordance with print settings resulting from preferentially applying a setting item of the temporary setting to the print setting information.
