Abstract
A mode setting apparatus selectively displays one of a plurality of mode setting screens on a display, each of which prompts a user to set a function corresponding to each mode. The mode setting apparatus displays the mode setting screen in a predetermined order in response to a first operation and a medium screen in response to a second operation on condition that any mode setting screen is displayed on the display. The mode setting apparatus changes the medium screen into the desired mode setting screen directly in response to a third operation.
