Abstract: An information processing apparatus includes a first display controller, a first accepting unit, a memory, a second display controller, and a second accepting unit. The first display controller causes a display to display a setting screen in accordance with an operation performed by a user, the setting screen allowing the user to set a value of a variable in setting information. The first accepting unit accepts a change instruction to change the value of the variable included in the setting screen. The memory stores information on the accepted change instruction, in association with identification information. The second display controller causes, in response to accepting the identification information, the display to display a screen which includes an image of the setting screen which corresponds to the accepted identification information. The second accepting unit accepts a change instruction to change a value of a variable included in the corresponding setting screen.
