Abstract

An image forming apparatus includes: a memory connecting portion, to which an external memory is detachably connected; a detecting portion that detects a connection state of the external memory; a printing portion that prints an image based on an image file to be printed which is stored in the external memory; and a controller that performs an automatic printing processing in which the controller controls the printing portion to automatically start printing the image in response to a detection by the detecting portion of connection of the external memory to the memory connecting portion.

Description

[0001] Cross References to Related Applications [0002] This application claims priority to Japanese Patent Application No. 2006-177691 filed on June 28, 2006, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference. technical field [0003] The present invention relates to an image forming apparatus. Background technique [0004] The present invention provides a technique for printing an image on a printing medium based on an image file recorded by a digital camera. For example, Japanese Patent No. 3,125,924 discloses a printer in which, when a memory card (external memory) storing image files is inserted into the card slot, the print start key blinks and the user presses the print start key, all the images stored in the memory card Image data is printed one by one. [0005] However, this printer requires key operations for printing, and when printing a plurality of image data stored in a plurality of memory cards, the operation becomes rather troublesome. [...
