example 1

[0254]Example 1 describes a case where a new document image is inserted to a position lateral to the preview display of multiple document images laid out in the lateral direction (left-and-right direction) on display panel 132.

[0255]FIG. 9 is an illustrative view showing one preview display example of multiple document images on the touch panel display of example 1. FIG. 10A is an illustrative view showing a state where multiple document images are laid out in the lateral direction and displayed in a preview representation on the touch panel display. FIG. 10B is an illustrative view showing a preview display when a new document image has been inserted into a position lateral to a reference document image in the preview representation.

[0256]Switching mode selecting button 1320 is displayed on the copy mode display screen in touch panel display 130, as shown in FIG. 9. When a new document image is inserted into a preview image P10 being displayed, “page insert mode” is selected by swi...

example 2

[0266]Example 2 is a variation of example 1 and shows a case where a new document image is inserted to a lateral position, on the opposite side to that in example 1, of the preview display of multiple document images laid out in the lateral direction (left-and-right direction) on display panel 132 on touch panel display 130.

[0267]FIG. 11A is an illustrative view showing a state where multiple document images are laid out in the lateral direction and displayed in a preview representation on the touch panel display of example 2. FIG. 11B is an illustrative view showing a preview display when a new document image has been inserted into a position lateral to a reference document image in the preview representation.

[0268]In example 2, when, in preview image P20, document image P12 is designated as the reference document image, the user touches the right side of document image P12 with the fingertip as shown in FIG. 11A so as to designate the touched position as the commanded position int...

example 3

[0271]Example 3 shows a case where a new document image is inserted into the preview display of document images being laid out and displayed in the lateral direction (left-and-right direction) on display panel 132, at a position located in the vertical direction (the top-and-bottom direction) on touch panel display 130.

[0272]FIG. 12A is an illustrative view showing a state where multiple document images are laid out in the lateral direction and displayed in a preview representation on the touch panel display of example 3. FIG. 12B is an illustrative view showing a preview display when a new document image has been inserted into a position vertical to a reference document image in the preview representation.

[0273]In example 3, preview image P30 is displayed on touch panel display 130 so that document images P11, P12 and P13 are laid out in the lateral direction from left to right on touch panel display 130, as shown in FIG. 12A.

[0274]At this point, when a new document image is insert...
