10 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 9 , wherein first communication with the image forming apparatus is established and the setting information is sent to the image forming apparatus.
11 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 10 , wherein the first communication is wireless local area network (wireless LAN) communication.
12 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 10 , wherein Near Field Communication is established with the image forming apparatus is established, connection information for establishing the first communication is acquired, and the first communication is established based on the connection information.
13 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein, in the second screen, the image indicating the output content when the document placed in the portrait-oriented direction is stapled is not included and at least two images indicating the output content when the document placed in the landscape-oriented direction is stapled are included.
14 . The information processing apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein each of the plurality of images included in the second screen, which indicates the output content when the document placed in the landscape-oriented direction is stapled, has a different printing orientation.
15 . An information processing apparatus configured to send a job to an image forming apparatus to execute a function of the image forming apparatus, and including one or more processors configured to cause the information processing apparatus to: accept setting information about a function of an image forming apparatus capable of communicating with the information processing apparatus; and display on a display unit, on a basis of the image forming apparatus being capable of accepting a document placed in a portrait-oriented direction, a first screen including information indicating an output content in a case where the image forming apparatus executes, on the document placed in the portrait-oriented direction, a function based on the setting information, and display on the display unit, on a basis of the image forming apparatus not being capable of accepting the document placed in the portrait-oriented direction, a second screen not including the information indicating the output content in the case where the image forming apparatus executes, on the document placed in the portrait-oriented direction, the function based on the setting information, wherein, in the first screen, an image indicating the output content when the document placed in the portrait-oriented direction is stapled and an image indicating an output content when a document placed in a landscape-oriented direction is stapled are included, and in the second screen, the image indicating the output content when the document placed in the portrait-oriented direction is stapled is not included and a plurality of images indicating the output content when the document placed in the landscape-oriented direction is stapled are included.

Description

CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS This application is a Continuation of U.S. patent application Ser. No. 18/058,649, filed Nov. 23, 2022, which claims the benefit of Japanese Patent Application No. 2021-195537, filed Dec. 1, 2021, both of which are hereby incorporated by reference herein in their entirety. BACKGROUND Field of the Disclosure The present disclosure relates to an information processing apparatus, a control method for the information processing apparatus, and a storage medium. Description of the Related Art In recent years, along with the spread of high-performance mobile terminals called smartphones, there have been an increasing number of image forming apparatuses that operate in cooperation with the mobile terminals. For example, by using an application for cooperation with an image forming apparatus, a mobile terminal wirelessly sends an execution instruction for a job, such as scanning or printing, to the image forming apparatus, to cause the image forming apparatus to execute scanning or the like, based on the job to which various types of setting information is added. As described above, a job to which setting information is added can be sent from a mobile terminal to an image forming apparatus, but even when an identical setting information is used, outputs from image forming apparatuses as sending destinations may be different from each other due to configuration differences among the image forming apparatuses. Consequently, a user is unaware of configuration differences between image forming apparatuses and executes a job from a mobile terminal without changing the setting, which may result in obtaining an output that is not intended by the user. Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2020-65107 discusses a technique for displaying information on a setting value, which may cause a trouble, previously determined by an image forming apparatus, on a mobile terminal to prompt the user to change the setting. However, according to the technique discussed in Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2020-65107, an operation to change the setting value to be a cause of trouble needs to be performed on the mobile terminal, and checking of whether the new setting value has been applied needs to be performed on the image forming apparatus. Thus, since the apparatus on which an operation for the setting is performed is different from the apparatus on which the setting is checked, which results in an issue of a reduction in the operability of user. SUMMARY In view of the above-described issue, embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to a technique, in a case of sending a job to an image forming apparatus to obtain an output, for more reliably obtaining the output intended by a user without reducing user operability. Embodiments of the present disclosure include an information processing apparatus configured to send a job to an image forming apparatus to execute a function of the image forming apparatus, the information processing apparatus including a reception unit configured to receive the job, and a display control unit configured to display, in a case where setting information relating to the job received by the reception unit includes a setting that causes an output to be different in accordance with a configuration of the image forming apparatus, a screen prompting a user to check an output content on a display unit.
