An image forming device is provided with an external storage, a printing unit, a storage controlling unit configured to store the image data in the external storage or an internal storage. The storage controlling device stores the image data developed from the print data retrieved from the print data stored in the external in the external storage, while stores the image data developed from the print data transmitted from the external device in the internal storage. At least file names of image data stored in the external storage on the displaying unit are displayed for selection when the external storage is connected to the image forming device, and file names of image data stored in the internal storage are displayed when the external storage is not connected to the image forming device. A reprinting unit performs a reprinting operation based on the selected image data.
An image forming device to which an external storage is detachably connectable, comprising:
A method of executing a reprinting operation for an image forming device provided with an internal storage, an external storage being detachably connectable to the image forming device, a display unit, and a printing unit configured to print an image on a recording sheet based on image data developed from print data which is retrieved from the external storage or transmitted from an external device, comprising the steps of:
A non-transitory computer accessible medium comprising computer readable instructions stored thereon, which when executed by a computer, cause an image forming device provided with an internal storage, an external storage which is detachably connectable to the image forming device, a display unit, and a printing unit configured to print an image on a recording sheet based on image data developed from print data which is retrieved from the external storage or transmitted from an external device to execute the steps of:
