Abstract
An image-forming apparatus having a touch panel displays a menu screen for allowing selection of a function to be used from a plurality of functions included in the image-forming apparatus. In a case where the menu screen includes a plurality of pages, a screen is switched from a currently displayed page to another page if a user operation for requesting a transition between the plurality of pages is detected. Information usable for limiting the transition of the plurality of pages included in the menu screen is set. The switch of the screen from a currently displayed page to another page is limited based on the set information.
Claims21
An image-forming apparatus having a touch panel, the apparatus comprising:
- a display unit configured to display a menu screen for allowing selection of a function to be used from a plurality of functions included in the image-forming apparatus;
- a detecting unit configured to detect an input operation performed by a user on the touch panel;
- a display control unit configured to, in a case where the menu screen includes a plurality of pages, switch a screen from a page currently displayed by the display unit to another page if the detecting unit detects an operation for requesting a transition between the plurality of pages;
- and
- a setting unit configured to set information usable for limiting the transition of the plurality of pages included in the menu screen,
- wherein the display control unit limits the switch of the screen from a page currently displayed by the display unit to another page based on the information set by the setting unit.
A control method for an image-forming apparatus having a touch panel, the method comprising:
- displaying a menu screen for allowing selection of a function to be used from a plurality of functions included in the image-forming apparatus;
- detecting an input operation performed by a user on the touch panel;
- display controlling, in a case where the menu screen includes a plurality of pages, by switching a screen from a page currently displayed by the displaying to another page if the detecting detects an operation for requesting a transition between the plurality of pages;
- and
- setting information usable for limiting the transition of the plurality of pages included in the menu screen,
- wherein the display controlling limits the switch of the screen from a page currently displayed by the displaying to another page based on the information set by the setting.
A computer-readable storage medium storing a computer program configured to cause a computer to implement a control method for an image-forming apparatus having a touch panel, the method comprising:
- displaying a menu screen for allowing selection of a function to be used from a plurality of functions included in the image-forming apparatus;
- detecting an input operation performed by a user on the touch panel;
- display controlling, in a case where the menu screen includes a plurality of pages, by switching a screen from a page currently displayed by the displaying to another page if the detecting detects an operation for requesting a transition between the plurality of pages;
- and
- setting information usable for limiting the transition of the plurality of pages included in the menu screen,
- wherein the display controlling limits the switch of the screen from a page currently displayed by the displaying to another page based on the information set by the setting.
