Abstract
A system includes an information processing apparatus that requests access to a file system managed by an image forming apparatus, receives a program for determining a transfer order of a plurality of print files designated by a screen and, in a case where a plurality of print files are stored in the folder via the displayed screen, executes the received program to determine a transfer order of the plurality of print files. The image forming apparatus, when the request is accepted, generates the program in accordance with a predetermined condition designated in advance by a user, and transmits the screen information and the generated program to the information processing apparatus, and executes image formation, which is based on a print file transferred in association with the folder and uses the print setting information, in an order in which the print file is transferred.
