An image forming apparatus including an image forming unit for forming an image on a sheet and a display unit for displaying information for a user, the image forming apparatus comprising:
- a controller having a processor for executing instructions stored in a memory or having circuitry and being configured to:
- display, on the display unit, a screen including a first display region for displaying a notification for prompting execution of a print process based on predetermined information and a second display region for causing the user to select print data;
- receive an instruction for executing the print process based on the predetermined information after the screen is displayed and cause the image forming unit to form an image based on the predetermined information;
- and
- receive an instruction for executing the print process on the selected print data after the screen is displayed and cause the image forming unit to form an image based on the selected print data.
An image forming apparatus including an image forming unit for forming an image on a sheet and a display unit for displaying information for a user, the image forming apparatus comprising:
- a controller, having a processor for executing instructions stored in a memory or having circuitry and being configured to:
- display, on the display unit, a screen including a first display region for displaying a notification for prompting execution of a print process based on predetermined information and a second display region for accepting a login of the user;
- receive an instruction for executing the print process based on the predetermined information after the screen is displayed and cause the image forming unit to form an image based on the predetermined information;
- and
- accept a login request supplied from the user after the screen is displayed.
