IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING FOR KEEPING ORIGINAL IN MIND

摘要

PPROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To urge a user to remove an original at a timing other than that after the end of accounting so as not to forget to pick up the original. PSOLUTION: An original reading section 11 is provided with an original sensor 115 for detecting the presence or absence of the original G. If a user carries out a print (copy) instruction from a UI screen displayed in a display/operation section 13, a control section 15 performs the control to read the image of the original G set in the read position of the original reading section 11 in this section and to have the image data printed by a printer 17. Also, when, for example, the end of the print is recognized in the control section 15, a section 150 for checking the neglect in picking up the original performs the process to check if there is the neglect in picking up the original G or not from the result of the detection of the original sensor 115. When the neglect in picking up the original is checked, a warning message is displayed in the display/operation section 13 to inform the user that there is the neglect in picking up the original G.
