There is provided an information processing apparatus and a control method thereof. The information processing apparatus and a control method acquires user information from an external apparatus by using near field wireless communication, determines how to handle the acquired user information according to a type of a screen displayed by a display unit. For example, when the displayed screen is an authentication screen, authentication processing is executed by using the acquired user information.

An electronic apparatus performs: acquiring an input file name from a removable memory connected to an interface; determining whether the input file name includes a first character string and whether the input file name includes a second character string; when the input file name includes the first character string, changing current setting information into specified setting information, the current setting information being among a plurality of setting information stored in the internal memory and corresponding to a first setting item specified by first input information, the specified setting information being included in the first input information and corresponding to the first setting item; and when the input file name includes the second character string, acquiring current setting information corresponding to a second setting item specified by second input information; and storing, in the removable memory, a file including output information indicating the acquired current setting information, as an output file.

An image forming apparatus includes a height determining member that performs the positioning of a holder in a height direction. When the holder is not mounted, the height determining member is assembled to a predetermined frame member to serve as a part of the predetermined frame member.

A job storage unit stores a print job. An image forming unit forms a toner image on a sheet. A fixing unit fixes the toner image on the sheet by heating the toner image. A first authentication unit communicates with a communication medium in a first communication range. A second authentication unit communicates with the communication medium in a second communication range. A control unit controls the fixing unit to be heated if the print job associated with user information is stored in the job storage unit when the first authentication unit acquires the user information, and controls the fixing unit to be heated if the print job associated with the acquired user information is not stored in the job storage unit when the second authentication unit acquires the user information.

An image forming apparatus includes a detection section, an identification section, an acquisition section and a restriction section. The detection section detects an approach of a user. The identification section identifies the user detected by the detection section. The acquisition section acquires statistics determined from a use count of the user identified by the identification section. The restriction section restricts execution of a warm-up control based on the statistics acquired by the acquisition section.
