Abstract
An example image forming apparatus may include an image forming part, a paper feeding part to transfer a printing paper to the image forming part, a scanning part, and a processor which, based on a copying instruction of a document being input, is to control the scanning part to initiate scanning for the document to be copied, and control the paper feeding part to initiate transfer of the printing paper before the scanning is completed.
Claims15
An image forming apparatus comprising:
- an image forming part;
- a paper feeding part to transfer a printing paper to the image forming part;
- a scanning part;
- and
- a processor, wherein the processor is to, based on a copying instruction of a document being input, control the scanning part to initiate scanning for the document to be copied, and control the paper feeding part to initiate transfer of the printing paper before the scanning is completed.
A processing method of a document of an image forming apparatus, the processing method comprising:
- based on a copying instruction of a document being input, initiating scanning of the document;
- and
- initiating transfer of a printing paper before the scanning of the document is completed.
A non-transitory recording medium storing instructions for performing a processing method of a document of an image forming apparatus, the non-transitory recording medium comprising:
- instructions to, based on a copying instruction of a document being input, initiate scanning of a document;
- instructions to initiate transfer of the printing paper before the scanning of the document is completed;
- and
- instructions to perform at least one process among processes of an image forming job while the scanning of the document is in progress,
- wherein the processes of the image forming job include at least one of a charging process of charging a photosensitive body, an exposure process of forming a latent image on the photosensitive body, a developing process of developing the latent image into an image, a transfer process of transferring the image to the printing paper, or a fixing process of fixing the image transferred to the printing paper.
