Embodiment Construction

[0017] According to one embodiment, an image forming apparatus includes an image forming unit, a memory, an operation panel, and a processor.

[0018] The image forming unit executes a printing job by forming an image on a recording medium. The memory stores a plurality of print jobs that have not been executed by the image forming unit. The operation panel accepts selection of a print job to be executed from among a plurality of print jobs stored in the memory and designation of an execution order of the selected print jobs.

[0019] A processor causes the image forming unit to execute the print job selected via the operation panel in the execution order specified via the operation panel.

[0020] Hereinafter, the embodiment will be further described with reference to the drawings. In the drawings, the same symbols denote the same or similar parts.

According to an embodiment, an image forming apparatus includes an image forming unit, a memory, an operation panel, and a processor. The memory stores a plurality of print jobs that have not yet been executed. The operation panel accepts selection of a plurality of print jobs to be executed and designation of a printing order of the selected print jobs. The processor causes the image forming unit to execute the selected plurality of print jobs in the designated print order.

Description

[0001] Cross references to related patent applications [0002] This application is based upon and claims the benefit of priority from prior Japanese Patent Application No. 2014-181803 filed on September 6, 2014, the entire contents of which are hereby incorporated by reference. technical field [0003] Embodiments of the present invention generally relate to an image forming apparatus and an image forming method. Background technique [0004] In the image forming apparatus, there are devices with functions called private printing and reserved printing. Private printing and reserved printing are functions in which the image forming apparatus accumulates print requests from external devices as print jobs, and executes printing according to operations performed by the user through the operation panel. In the conventional image forming apparatus, when the user collectively selects the plurality of accumulated print jobs, the printing order of those print jobs cannot be freely ...
