Patent ID: 8874939

Claim:
An information processing apparatus comprising: at least one central processing unit (CPU) that is programmed to perform control to display at a display section a print settings screen for making settings relating to the printing in response to execution of printing at a printing device connected via a communications section being instructed, wherein the at least one CPU is programmed to calculate an estimated value of power consumption that the printing device will consume if the printing is executed using the settings relating to printing, wherein the at least one CPU is programmed to perform control to display the estimated value of power consumption and display at the display section an energy saving settings screen for making settings relating to energy saving in response to a pre-specified operation being performed at the print settings screen, and wherein the at least one CPU is programmed to perform control to display at the display section, as a conservable power, a difference between: an estimated value of power consumption for, from among the settings relating to energy saving, pre-specified energy saving settings with which power consumption is lower than if printing is executed using pre-specified standard settings, and the estimated value of power consumption if the printing is executed using current settings.
