Abstract
An image forming apparatus which includes a plurality of operating modes, the apparatus including a main body, a scanning unit to move along the main body and obtains an image data from an object to be scanned, an operation state display unit to display a position of the scanning unit, and a controller to set a display mode corresponding to an operating state that includes at least one operating mode of the plurality of operating modes and controls the operation state display unit to display the display mode set corresponding to the operating state.
Claims19
An image forming apparatus which comprises a plurality of operating modes, the apparatus comprising:
- a main body;
- a scanning unit to move along the main body and to obtain image data from an object to be scanned;
- an operation state display unit disposed along a moving path of the scanning unit to display a current scanning position of the scanning unit along with one of a plurality of display modes indicating a plurality of operating modes of the image forming apparatus;
- and
- a controller to set one of the plurality of display modes corresponding to a current operating mode of the plurality of operating modes and to control the operation state display unit to display the set display mode,
- wherein the operation state display unit comprises a plurality of light emitting devices which are disposed along the moving path of the scanning unit to display the current scanning position of the scanning unit, and
- wherein the display modes are differently recognized by a user according to at least one of a light emitting form, a light emitting color, a light emitting intensity and a flickering cycle of the plurality of light emitting devices.
A control method of an image forming apparatus which comprises a main body, a scanning unit to move along the main body and to obtain image data from an object to be scanned and an operation state display unit, and comprises a plurality of operating modes, the control method comprising:
- by the operation state display unit, displaying along a moving path of the scanning unit a current scanning position of the scanning unit;
- setting one of a plurality of display modes corresponding to a current operating mode of the plurality of operating modes;
- and
- by the operation state display unit, displaying the set display mode along with the current scanning position,
- wherein the operation state display unit comprises a plurality of light emitting devices which are disposed along the moving path of the scanning unit to display the current scanning position of the scanning unit, and
- wherein the displaying the set display mode differently recognized by a user comprises at least one of a light emitting form, a light emitting color, a light emitting intensity and a flickering cycle of the plurality of light emitting devices.
An image forming apparatus, the apparatus comprising:
- a main body;
