Degrees of wear of sheet-feed rollers corresponding to sheet-feed cassettes are managed by considering types of sheets set at feeding units. A control method for controlling a managing apparatus for managing a feeding device that feeds sheets, set in the feeding units, by driving the sheet-feed rollers corresponding to the feeding units includes storing sheet information in a storage unit, the sheet information indicating types of the sheets that are set in the respective feeding units; and managing degrees of wear of the sheet-feed rollers for the respective feeding units in accordance with the numbers of fed sheets and the sheet information stored in the storage unit, the degrees of wear resulting from the sheets fed from the feeding units.
