Abstract

An image forming apparatus and a control method thereof that provides a convenient print resume when printing is halted. The control method of the image forming apparatus includes obtaining image data to be printed which are selected among image data stored in a memory card, printing the selected image data, preparing a print list for the selected image data, if a printing operation is interrupted, preparing a list of image data suspended from printing and storing the list of unprinted image data. Therefore, although the printing operation may be interrupted before all image data to be printed are completely printed, the list of image data suspended from printing stored in the memory card makes it more convenient for a user to resume the printing operation on the unprinted image data without repeating the routine, namely, selecting image data to be printed and resetting the print options, to print the unprinted image data afterwards.

Description

technical field [0001] The present general inventive concept relates generally to an image forming apparatus and a control method thereof, and more particularly, to an image forming apparatus and a control method thereof for storing an unprinted image data list in a memory card and subsequently continuing a printing operation based on the unprinted image data list . Background technique [0002] An image forming apparatus such as a photo printer can perform a printing operation on image data stored in a memory card used as a recording medium of an image photographing apparatus such as a digital camera. Generally, a user may continuously store image data until the storage capacity of the memory card is filled, and then simultaneously print a large amount of image data stored on the full memory card. [0003] Because the printing operation of each image takes a certain amount of time to complete, the user faces a long wait time until all image data on a full memory card is co...
