Abstract

Provided is an image forming apparatus that prevents the image forming apparatus being operated in a state where a user setting value is changed by a maintenance worker before a user is aware of the change without lowering efficiency of a maintenance work. The image forming apparatus according to the present disclosure is an image forming apparatus whose operation is controlled based on a setting value, and the setting value contains an operation control user setting value set by an administrator user having administrator authority. The image forming apparatus includes a maintenance work processing part that prohibits a general user having no administrator authority from using the image forming apparatus until the administrator user approves the operation control user setting value changed by the maintenance worker if the operation control user setting value is changed by the maintenance worker having the administrator authority.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an image forming apparatus that receives maintenance work from a maintenance worker. Background technique [0002] In an image forming apparatus, maintenance work may be required in order to maintain quality. During the maintenance work, outputting maintenance information from the image forming apparatus, updating firmware of the image forming apparatus, and changing various setting values ​​in the image forming apparatus can be performed. In addition, during maintenance work, maintenance information can be output from the image forming apparatus. In an image forming apparatus, confidential information of a user may be stored, and it is necessary to take measures so that the confidential information is not leaked during maintenance work. Therefore, techniques have been proposed that enable only authenticated maintenance workers to perform maintenance work, or designate an external terminal carried by a maintenance wor...
