Image forming apparatus, method of controlling image forming apparatus, and program

A non-transitory recording medium storing a computer readable program causing a computer built in an image forming apparatus to perform:

• a) guiding a worker to one work stage of a plurality of work stages according to work to be conducted by the worker at the image forming apparatus;
• b) determining completion of the one work stage with a completion-determination method corresponding to a type of the one work stage;
• and
• c) performing a) the guiding and b) the determining to another work stage that is not the one work stage, in the plurality of work stages,
• wherein the plurality of work stages is classified into a first type of stage and a second type of stage in advance, and
• b) the determining includes:
• determining, in a case where a current work stage in the plurality of work stages belongs to the first type of stage, completion of the current work stage, based on a detected result of a specific sensor corresponding to the current work stage in at least one sensor capable of detecting a final state of at least one work stage of the plurality of work stages;
• and
• determining, in a case where the current work stage belongs to the second type of stage, the completion of the current work stage, based on a voice input of an effect that the current work stage has been conducted, from the worker.

A method of controlling an image forming apparatus, the method comprising:

• a) guiding a worker to one work stage of a plurality of work stages according to work to be conducted by the worker at the image forming apparatus;
• b) determining completion of the one work stage with a completion-determination method corresponding to a type of the one work stage;
• and
• c) performing a) the guiding and b) the determining to another work stage that is not the one work stage, in the plurality of work stages,
• wherein the plurality of work stages is classified into a first type of stage and a second type of stage in advance, and
• b) the determining includes:
• determining, in a case where a current work stage in the plurality of work stages belongs to the first type of stage, completion of the current work stage, based on a detected result of a specific sensor corresponding to the current work stage in at least one sensor capable of detecting a final state of at least one work stage of the plurality of work stages;
• and
• determining, in a case where the current work stage belongs to the second type of stage, the completion of the current work stage, based on a voice input of an effect that the current work stage has been conducted, from the worker.
