INFORMATION PROCESSING APPARATUS AND METHOD OF CONTROLLING THE SAME
First Claim
1. An information processing apparatus, comprising:
- an obtaining unit that obtains device information of a storage device provided in the information processing apparatus, the device information containing information indicating whether the storage device is of a type that supports an erasure command that provides notification of information indicating data to be erased from the storage device; and
a control unit that, based on the device information, controls display of a setting screen for setting an erasure mode that erases data used in execution of a job in the information processing apparatus from the storage device, the control unit controlling whether to display an erasure mode that executes erasure processing based on the erasure command in a selectable manner in accordance with whether the storage device is of the type that supports the erasure command.

Abstract
A CPU of an information processing apparatus (MFP) obtains device information of a secondary storage device installed in the MFP and discriminates, based on the obtained device information, whether the secondary storage device is of a type that supports an erasure command (TRIM command) that provides notification of information indicating data to be erased from the storage device. The CPU controls display of a setting screen for erasure modes by controlling, in accordance with the discrimination result, whether to display erasure modes for executing erasure processing based on an erasure command in a selectable manner.

11. A method of controlling an information processing apparatus, the method comprising:
-
obtaining device information of a storage device provided in the information processing apparatus, the device information containing information indicating whether the storage device is of a type that supports an erasure command that provides notification of information indicating data to be erased from the storage device; and controlling, based on the device information, display of a setting screen for setting an erasure mode that erases data used in execution of a job in the information processing apparatus from the storage device, the controlling being in control of whether to display an erasure mode that causes the storage device to execute erasure processing based on the erasure command in a selectable manner in accordance with whether the storage device is of the type that supports the erasure command. - View Dependent Claims (12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
