Abstract
An image forming apparatus driven with stored power from a battery includes an image forming unit to perform printing; a battery remaining amount detecting unit to detect a remaining amount of the stored power of the battery; and an enforced printing unit to determine whether the detected remaining amount of the stored power of the battery reaches a threshold value indicating to stop printing, and controls the image forming unit to continuously perform printing even when it is determined that the detected remaining amount reaches the threshold value.
Claims12
An image forming apparatus driven with stored power from a battery, comprising:
- an image forming unit to perform printing;
- a battery remaining amount detecting unit to detect a remaining amount of the stored power of the battery;
- and
- an enforced printing unit to determine whether the detected remaining amount of the stored power of the battery reaches a threshold value indicating to stop printing, and controls the image forming unit to continuously perform printing even when it is determined that the detected remaining amount reaches the threshold value.
An image forming method, performed by an image forming apparatus driven with stored power from a battery, the method comprising:
- detecting a remaining amount of the stored power of the battery;
- determining whether the detected remaining amount of the stored power of the battery reaches a threshold value indicating to stop printing;
- and
- controlling an image forming unit to continuously perform printing even when it is determined that the detected remaining amount reaches the threshold value.
A non-transitory recording medium storing a plurality of instructions which, when executed by a processor, cause the processor to perform an image forming method, performed by an image forming apparatus driven with stored power from a battery, the method comprising:
- detecting a remaining amount of the stored power of the battery;
- determining whether the detected remaining amount of the stored power of the battery reaches a threshold value indicating to stop printing;
- and
- controlling an image forming unit to continuously perform printing even when it is determined that the detected remaining amount reaches the threshold value.
