Abstract: An information processing apparatus capable of overwrite-recording time-series logs indicating an operation history and efficiently holding log information on operations relating to an occurring error. When an error is detected, a filtering object area is set that contains log information for a predetermined time period immediately before the error detection. Then, a type of the occurring error is identified, and log types to be protected are decided based on the identified error type. Among the filtering object area, log recording areas for the decided log types are decided as a to-be-protected log recording area. Subsequently, further log information is recorded so as to avoid the to-be-protected log recording area.

Abstract: A method for controlling a printing system adapted to perform an adjustment operation with an adjusting unit includes storing information indicating a timing for performing the adjustment operation in a storage unit, causing the adjusting unit to perform the adjustment operation based on the information indicating the timing for performing the adjustment operation stored in the storage unit, causing the adjusting unit to perform the adjustment operation at a timing different from the timing indicated by the information in response to a print interruption occurring in the printing system if a previous adjustment operation has not been performed within a predetermined period of time, and updating the information indicating the timing for performing the adjustment operation stored in the storage unit in response to the adjusting unit performing the adjustment operation to delay a timing for performing a next adjustment operation with the adjusting unit.
