Abstract

A printing apparatus which is capable of preventing printing from being performed based on setting histories against user's will. The printing apparatus displays a setting call button for calling data to be printed and print setting information. A character string for identifying the data is displayed on the setting call button. It is determined whether or not all of the character string is displayed on the setting call button. When a user has selected the setting call button on which at least a part of the character string is not displayed, a notification screen that prompts a user to confirm the data to be printed is displayed.

Claims (22)

1. A printing apparatus comprising:

a button display control unit configured to display a history button for calling data printed in the past and print setting information used when the data was printed, wherein at least a part of a character string for identifying the data is further displayed on the history button;

and

a control unit configured to, when a user has selected the history button on which the part of the character string for identifying the data is not displayed, display a notification screen that displays all of the character string for identifying the data to be printed,

wherein the notification screen is not displayed when the user has selected the history button on which all of the character string is displayed.

2. The printing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the character string is an absolute path indicating a name and a storage location of the data.

3. The printing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the control unit displays a print setting screen without displaying the notification screen when the user has selected the history button on which all of the character string is displayed, and wherein the print setting screen is a screen for issuing an instruction to start printing using the print setting information corresponding to the selected history button, and

wherein the control unit displays the notification screen before displaying the print setting screen when the user has selected the history button on which a part of the character string is not displayed.

4. The printing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein

the control unit displays a print setting screen without displaying the notification screen when the user has selected the history button on which all of the character string is displayed, and wherein the print setting screen is a screen for issuing an instruction to start printing using the print setting information corresponding to the selected history button, and

wherein the control unit displays the notification screen in such a manner as to cover at least a part of the print setting screen when the user has selected the history button on which a part of the character string is not displayed.

5. A control method for a printing apparatus, the method comprising:

displaying a history button for calling data printed in the past and print setting information used when the data was printed, wherein at least a part of a character string for identifying the data is further displayed on the history button;

displaying a notification screen that displays all of the character string for identifying the data to be printed when a user has selected the history button on which the part of the character string is not displayed,

wherein the notification screen is not displayed when the user has selected the history button on which all of the character string is displayed.

6. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program for causing a computer to execute a control method for a printing apparatus, the control method comprising:

displaying a history button for calling data printed in the past and print setting information used when the data was printed, wherein at least a part of a character string for identifying the data is further displayed on the history button;

and

displaying a notification screen that displays all of the character string for identifying the data to be printed when a user has selected the history button on which the part of the character string is not displayed,
