An information processing apparatus to communicate with an external apparatus includes a reception unit, an execution unit, a setting unit, and a determination unit. The reception unit receives data described in Postscript® from the external apparatus. The execution unit executes processing based on a command described in the data received by the reception unit. The setting unit performs a predetermined setting regarding execution of the processing. The determination unit determines, in a case where the reception unit receives data in which a command associated with a superexec operator is described, whether the execution unit executes the processing based on the command using the predetermined setting.
