Problems solved by technology

[0005] In this case, when multiple images are displayed, the photo printer cannot directly print the selected image
That is, the conventional image forming apparatus is inconvenient because when the display mode for displaying the print data image is changed, images corresponding to the print data cannot be directly printed when they are displayed in the changed display mode

Abstract

An image forming apparatus and method are provided. The image forming apparatus includes an image processor for setting a display mode and print data according to the display mode, a user interface unit for receiving the display mode and displaying images of the print data, and an image forming unit for forming an image corresponding to a portion selected from the displayed images in the display mode. Therefore, even when a display mode in which images of print data are displayed is changed, a user does not need to perform onerous key manipulation for printing the image since an image corresponding to a portion selected from displayed print data can be directly printed when it is displayed in the changed display mode. Also, since images corresponding to print data changed according to a display mode and images corresponding to initially given print data can be used as images of a standby mode, it is unnecessary to change a display pattern which has already been displayed, in a standby mode, which is convenient for the users.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to image forming apparatuses such as printers. In particular, the present invention relates to an image forming apparatus and method for changing a display mode for displaying an image corresponding to print data, and directly printing the image while displaying the image in the changed display mode. Background technique [0002] The photo printer displays images corresponding to photo data through a display screen. Photo printers have a standby mode and an operating mode. [0003] When the photo printer is in the standby mode, the photo printer displays images without changing the display mode in which the images are displayed. Meanwhile, when the photo printer is in the operation mode, the photo printer can zoom in (or zoom out) according to the user's instruction, and display the image. Also, when the photo printer is in the operation mode, the photo printer can display a plurality of images corresponding to photo da...
