Abstract
A controller includes an acquisition unit that acquires paper type information from each of a plurality of image output devices managed in a management system, a grouping unit that performs grouping of a plurality of managed image output devices based on paper information acquired by the acquisition unit, and a display controller that displays the managed image output devices having undergone the grouping performed by the grouping unit on a display unit. If the acquisition unit acquires current-fed-paper-type information, the grouping unit performs the grouping based on the current-fed-paper-type information. If the acquisition unit does not acquire the current-fed-paper-type information, the grouping unit performs the grouping based on calibration-executable paper type information included in the paper type information acquired by the acquisition unit.
