Claims20
An image forming apparatus comprising:
- an input unit configured to receive, for a printing option listed in a menu of a plurality of printing options and having associated setting information that indicates printing modes when the printing option is selected for image formation, inputs specifying:
- display execution information that indicates, when the printing option is selected for image formation, whether to display the printing modes associated with the printing option prior to performing image formation, and
- automatic performance execution information that indicates, when the printing option is selected for image formation, whether to perform image formation prior to receiving an execution confirmation;
- a storage unit configured to store the specified display execution information and automatic performance execution information;
- a display control unit configured to display, when a user selects the printing option for image formation and when the corresponding saved display execution information is affirmative, the printing modes associated with the printing option;
- and
- an image forming control unit configured to perform, when a user selects the printing option for image formation and when the corresponding saved automatic performance execution information is affirmative, the image formation according to the associated setting information without waiting for the execution confirmation.
