Abstract: In an information processing apparatus, a storage processing portion overwrites and stores, every time an informational process is executed, contents of one or more settings items as a single history data-set stored in a storage portion. The count processing portion counts the total number of times the informational process has been consecutively set and executed with contents identical to the contents of the settings items in the history data-set. The second settings-processing portion sets the contents of the settings items in the history data-set as the initial-settings contents when the total number of times counted by the count processing portion has reached a threshold set in advance.
