Claims11
An image forming apparatus comprising:
- a display that displays a normal operational screen and information other than the normal operational screen;
- a display controller that operates to switch what is displayed between a normal operational screen and information other than the normal operational screen and display the data on the display;
- and
- a driving unit that drives the display to change a placement state of the display between one state where a normal operational screen is displayed on the display and another state where information other than the normal operational screen is displayed on the display.
An image processing apparatus comprising:
- a display that displays a normal operational screen and information other than the normal operational screen;
- a display controller that operates to switch what is displayed between a normal operational screen and information other than the normal operational screen and display the data on the display;
- and
- a driving unit that drives the display to change a placement state of the display between one state where a normal operational screen is displayed on the display and another state where information other than the normal operational screen is displayed on the display.
A display control method comprising:
- driving a display to set the display in one placement state allowing only an operator of the apparatus to see what is displayed when a normal operational screen is displayed on the display;
- and
- driving the display to set the display in another placement state allowing both the operator and other persons around to see what is displayed when information other than the normal operational screen is displayed on the display.
