Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes a document reader, a storage for storing image data, a display image generator for generating a display image, a display panel and a control unit-side controller for providing preview display of display images on a display panel, based on the image data input from the document reader. The control unit-side controller includes a document sheaf display controller, a small-sized image preparation controller, a small-sized image display controller, a folder preparation controller, a folder storage controller and a folder display controller.
Claims3
An image forming apparatus comprising:
- an input unit receiving input of image data;
- a storing unit storing the image data input from the input unit;
- a display image generator generating a display image based on the image data stored in the storing unit;
- a display portion having a display screen for displaying the display image generated by the display image generator;
- and
- a display controller having a function of providing preview display of the display image on the display portion, based on the image data input from the input unit,
- characterized in that:
- the input unit has a function of receiving additional input of new image data, after the image data is input;
- the display image generator has a function of separately generating a first display image based on precedent image data input before additional input and stored in the storing unit and a second display image based on additional image data that is additionally input;
- and
- the display controller as a function of providing preview display of the first display image and the second display image, on the same display screen of the display portion, in a distinctive manner, when the new image data is additionally input, and a function of displaying the second display image in an overlapping manner behind the first display image.
