Abstract
When an instruction to shut down an image forming apparatus is provided, a list of tasks is generated and displayed based on the characteristics and operation state of each task. If an instruction to cancel a displayed running task is provided, processing of the task is canceled and shutdown processing is performed. Thus, user convenience can be improved by displaying whether or not the running tasks are cancelable when an instruction to shut down the image forming apparatus is provided.
