Image forming apparatus and program

Abstract

The objective is to provide an image forming apparatus and program that can reduce the likelihood of forgetting to configure settings. [Solution] The image forming apparatus of the embodiment comprises a memory in which a program is stored, and a processor that performs processing by executing the program stored in the memory. The processing includes displaying a settings screen having multiple setting items, accepting the setting of multiple setting items, starting image forming processing with the settings of multiple setting items based on the operation of an execution key, accepting an operation to cancel the image forming processing after the start of the image forming processing, retaining information of the setting items that have been changed relative to the previous settings when the settings are changed after the operation to cancel the image forming processing is accepted and image forming processing is started with the changed settings, and highlighting the display corresponding to the changed setting items on the displayed settings screen.

Claims

1. An image forming apparatus comprising a memory in which a program is stored, and a processor that performs processing by executing the program stored in the memory, The aforementioned process is, Displaying a settings screen with multiple setting items, The system accepts settings for the aforementioned multiple configuration items, Based on the operation of the execution key, the image formation process is started with the settings of the aforementioned multiple setting items, The system accepts an operation to cancel the image forming process after the start of the image forming process, If the setting is changed after an operation to cancel the image forming process is received, and the image forming process is started with the changed setting, the system will retain information about the setting item that was changed from the setting before the change. In the settings screen that is displayed, the display corresponding to the setting item that has been changed is highlighted. Image forming apparatus.

2. The retained setting item information is the setting before the operation to cancel the image formation process was accepted, and the setting screen does not accept changes from the initial value, while the setting item information is the setting item for which changes from the initial value were accepted after the operation to cancel the image formation process was accepted. The image forming apparatus according to claim 1.

3. The determination of whether a setting item was not allowed to be changed from its initial value on the settings screen before the operation to cancel the image formation process was accepted is made by determining whether the setting item was not touch-detected on the settings screen before the operation to cancel the image formation process was accepted. The image forming apparatus according to claim 2.

4. In the settings screen, the display mode used when highlighting the setting item is different from the display mode used when the setting item is edited. The image forming apparatus according to any one of claims 1 to 3.

5. In the computer of the image forming apparatus, The process of displaying a settings screen with multiple setting items, A process for accepting settings for the aforementioned multiple setting items, A process that starts the image formation process based on the operation of the execution key and the settings of the multiple setting items, A process for accepting an operation to cancel the image forming process after the start of the image forming process, If the setting is changed after an operation to cancel the image forming process is received, and the image forming process is started with the changed setting, the process of retaining information about the setting item that has been changed from the setting before the change, The settings screen to be displayed includes a process to highlight the display corresponding to the setting item that has been changed, A program that executes the command.
