Abstract: An information processing terminal accepts a print job inputted into the image forming apparatus via the user operation and obtains capability information of the image forming apparatus. The information processing terminal obtains the total number of print sheets for when the accepted print job will be processed and the maximum number of print sheets that the image forming apparatus can process without requiring user action, which is included in the obtained capability information. Furthermore, the information processing terminal, in the case where the total number of print sheets exceeds the maximum number of print sheets, outputs a warning message including that user action will be necessary.
