An image forming apparatus, comprising:
- a radio communication portion that transmits and receives data over radio communication to and from a storage medium in which identification information for user identification is stored;
- a display input portion that displays a function setting screen and receives a function setting;
- and
- a control portion that controls operation of the apparatus and forces the display input portion to perform a display changeover depending on an exposure state in which the storage medium is exposed if the radio communication portion obtains the identification information from the storage medium.
An image forming system, comprising:
- a plurality of storage mediums each of which stores at least identification information for identifying a user;
- an image forming apparatus that includes a radio communication portion that transmits and receives data to and from the storage medium over radio communication;
- a display input portion that displays a function able to be set on a screen thereof and receives a function setting;
- and a control portion for controlling operation of the apparatus;
- and
- a storage portion that is disposed inside or outside the image forming apparatus, wherein
- the display input portion receives registration and update inputs of display setting data that represent a display order in which display is changed according to an exposure state of the storage medium, the storage portion stores the display setting data for each user, and
- the control portion, based on the display setting data, forces the display input portion to change display depending on the exposure state of the storage medium if the radio communication portion obtains the identification information from the storage medium.
