Embodiment Construction
[0017] Hereinafter, an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
[0018] FIG. 1 is a conceptual diagram illustrating functions of an image forming apparatus 201 according to an embodiment of the present invention.
[0019] The reading unit 202 has a function of reading an image, and executes a reading operation according to an operation instruction of the operation unit 203 . The read image data is printed by the printing unit 204 .
[0020] When image forming apparatus 201 receives an operation request signal for operating reading unit 202 from an external device, determination unit 205 determines whether reading unit 202 is usable.
[0021] The first control unit 206 operates after referring to the information of the determination unit. That is, if the reading unit 202 is in a usable state, the operation unit 203 is made into an unusable state, and at the same time, the reading unit is operated according to an instruct...

An image forming apparatus connected to an external apparatus, includes a scanner unit to read an image of a document, a printer unit to form an image on the basis of image data read by the scanner unit or image data transmitted from the external apparatus, an input unit to input to operate the scanner unit and the printer unit, a receiving unit to receive an operation request signal of the scanner unit from the external apparatus, a decision unit, when the operation request signal is received by the receiving unit, to decide whether the scanner unit is not used yet and is usable or not, and a reading controller, when it is decided by the decision unit that the scanner unit is not used yet and is usable, on the basis of the operation request signal from the external apparatus, to execute control of enabling the reading operation by the scanner unit.
Description
technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an image forming apparatus and an image forming method for forming an image of a digital multifunction machine connected to an external device such as a personal computer, and an image forming method. Background technique [0002] Conventionally, there has been provided an image forming apparatus called a digital multi-function peripheral having functions such as a scanning function and a printing function. [0003] Among such digital multi-function machines, there is also disclosed a digital multi-function machine capable of improving work efficiency by simultaneously operating a printing function and a scanning function (for example, Patent Document 1). [0004] Also discloses a composite / distributed system (for example, Patent Document 2), which has a reading unit, a printing unit, and a storage unit, and the control unit compositely controls the above-mentioned units and makes them perform various functions. At the ...
