Abstract
An example image forming apparatus includes a detection device to detect loading of paper output from the image forming apparatus, a user interface device, a processor, and a memory to store instructions executable by the processor. The processor is to, by executing the instructions, detect a folded state or an unfolded state of the detection device, display state information indicating a state of the detection device on the user interface device, and control an operation of an image forming job based on the state information of the detection device and mounting information of an output option device.
Claims14
An image forming apparatus comprising:
- a detection device to detect loading of paper output from the image forming apparatus;
- a user interface device;
- a processor;
- and
- a memory to store instructions executable by the processor, wherein the processor, by executing the instructions, is to:
- detect a folded state or an unfolded state of the detection device, display state information indicating a state of the detection device on the user interface device,
- control an operation of an image forming job based on the state information of the detection device and mounting information of an output option device;
- perform a print job, corresponding to a print job request, in a case in which the state information of the detection device indicates the folded state and the mounting information of the output option device indicates a mounted state.
An operating method of an image forming apparatus, the operating method comprising:
- detecting a folded state or an unfolded state of a detection device that detects loading of paper output from the image forming apparatus;
- displaying state information indicating a state of the detection device;
- and controlling an operation of an image forming job based on the state information of the detection device and mounting information of an output option device;
- and
- performing a print job, corresponding to a print job request, in a case in which the state information of the detection device indicates the folded state and the mounting information of the output option device indicates a mounted state.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored therein instructions executable by an image forming apparatus, the instructions comprising:
- instructions to detect a folded state or an unfolded state of a detection device that detects loading of paper output from the image forming apparatus;
- instructions to display state information indicating a state of the detection device;
- and
- instructions to control an operation of an image forming job based on the state information of the detection device and mounting information of an output option device;
- and
- instructions to perform a print job, corresponding to a print job request, in a case in which the state information of the detection device indicates the folded state and the mounting information of the output option device indicates a mounted state.
