Image processing apparatus

An image processing apparatus which can implement a plurality of processing functions relating to imaging designated by a user, comprising:

• an input portion through which a user inputs an instruction of a processing job relating to the processing functions;
• a plurality types of functional units for implementing the processing functions relating to imaging;
• a display portion for displaying information as to at least one processing function;
• and
• a controller for controlling the input portion, functional units and display portion,
• wherein when the display portion displays a job information window for displaying job information of the processing job, if there is warning information to be informed to the user, the controller displays a warning window displaying the warning information so as to be laid over the job information window.

• an input portion through which a user inputs an instruction of a processing job relating to the processing functions;
• a plurality types of functional units for implementing the processing functions relating to imaging;
• a display portion for displaying information as to at least one processing function;
• and
• a controller for controlling the input portion, functional units and display portion,
• wherein the controller generates on the display portion a plurality of job information windows for displaying job information in accordance with processing jobs carried out by the functional units and displays the job information windows in an overlaid and shifted manner so that part of the job information window in a lower layer is exposed to be seen, and if there is warning information to be informed to the user, the controller displays a warning icon representing the warning information, at such a position in an exposed display portion of the job information window in the lower layer that the warning icon will not affect the display of the job information.

• an input portion through which a user inputs an instruction of a processing job relating to the processing functions;
• a plurality types of functional units for implementing the processing functions relating to imaging;
• a display portion for displaying information as to at least one processing function;
• and
• a controller for controlling the input portion, functional units and display portion,
• wherein the controller generates a job information window for displaying job information for each processing job carried out by the functional units and displays the job information window on the display portion, and when warning information to be informed to the user has occurred and if the warning information relates to a job content in the job information window, the controller displays a warning window displaying the warning information so as to be laid over the job information window;
• when warning information to be informed to the user has occurred and if the warning information does not relate to a job content in the job information window, the controller displays a warning icon representing the warning information at such a position in the job information window that the warning icon will not affect a display of the job information.

• a display portion for displaying information as to at least one processing function;
• and
• a controller for controlling the input portion, functional units and display portion,
• wherein the controller generates one job information window for displaying job information for each type of processing jobs carried out by the functional units and displays the job information windows in an overlaid and shifted manner so that part of the job information windows in a lower layer is exposed to be seen, and when any of the functions has warning information to be informed to the user and if the warning information relates to a job content of the job information window being displayed in a frontmost layer, the controller displays a warning window displaying the warning information so as to be laid over the job information window in the frontmost layer;
• when any of the functions has warning information to be informed to the user and if the warning information does not relate to a job content of the job information window being displayed in a frontmost layer, the controller displays a warning icon representing the warning information at such a position in a exposed display portion of the job information window in the lower layer that the icon will not affect a display of the job information in the lower layer.
