Abstract
An image forming apparatus comprises a document reading unit for reading a document on a table or at a predetermined reading position to which the document is transported by a document feeder and an interrupt key for receiving an interrupt job. When a user turns on the interrupt key, an inquiry whether a document for an interrupt job is read on a table or at a predetermined reading position to which the document is transported by the document feeder is displayed on a liquid crystal display. When the user selects either one of them, an interrupt process is executed.
Claims3
An image forming apparatus comprising:
- a document reading unit reading a document on a table or at a predetermined reading position to which the document is transported by a document feeder;
- interrupt job receiving unit for receiving an interrupt job;
- said interrupt job receiving unit having interrupt selecting unit for selecting a first interrupt in which the document of the interrupt job is read on said table, or a second interrupt in which the document is read by said document feeder;
- and
- control unit for controlling said document feeder and said document reading unit so that when said interrupt job receiving unit receives the interrupt of said first interrupt while the document is being read by said document feeder, the reading by said document feeder is stopped and the document is read on said table to execute said first interrupt, and when the interrupt job receiving unit receives the interrupt of said second interrupt, after the document which is being read by said document reading unit is completely read out and the document set in said document feeder is completely discharged, said second interrupt is executed when it is detected that the document of said second interrupt is set in said document feeder.
