20100020363 | IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - By enabling the confirmation of a finish state by a preview reliably, it makes it possible to prevent unnecessary image formation processing due to setting errors by a user. Finish state information showing a finish state of paper is simultaneously displayed in addition to a preview image showing an entire page of image data on a preview screen before performing image formation. The finish state information is displayed, for example, as “2-sided: Front 1” showing to be the first page in 2-sided printing. In addition thereto, an icon showing to be a front side in 2-sided printing is displayed at the same time. This display allows the user to recognize that a setting of 2-sided printing is performed and image data of the current preview image is the front side of the first page in the 2-sided printing. | 01-28-2010 |
20110199637 | OPERATION CONSOLE, AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS PROVIDED WITH THE OPERATION CONSOLE - An operation unit of an image forming apparatus having a plurality of operation modes, allowing accurate and easy input by the user requesting switching of display to a screen image allowing selection of an operation mode, includes: a pilot lamp, a touch-panel display, and hardware keys including a power key, an energy-saving key and a home key. The home key that switches the display on the touch-panel display to an operation mode selecting screen image (home screen image) when pressed is provided closer to the touch-panel display than other hardware buttons. | 08-18-2011 |
20120013928 | IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - 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 giving display guidance on the input status of image data from the document reader, on the display panel. The display panel includes a first display area and a second display area. The control unit-side controller performs control such as to display a display image in the first display area, move the display image displayed in the first display area toward the second display area, and then display the moved one in the second display area. | 01-19-2012 |
20120079411 | OPERATION CONSOLE, CONTROL METHOD THEREOF AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - In an operation unit, a display panel displays a two-sided copy setting screen image including a still image display area on which a plurality of software keys (two-sided copy setting keys) corresponding to respective ones of a plurality of processes (one-sided/one-sided copy process, one-sided/two-sided copy process, two-sided/two-sided copy process and two-sided/one-sided copy process), for selecting any of the plurality of processes, are displayed. A touch-panel receives an input operation to the plurality of software keys. In response to the touch-panel receiving the input operation, a CPU displays, on a movie display area different from the still image display area of the two-sided copy setting screen image, an image representing contents of the selected process in a prescribed state. | 03-29-2012 |
20120092692 | Information input device, control method thereof and image forming apparatus - An information input device includes a display device that displays an information input screen image and a touch-panel that is arranged on the display device and specifies a designated position on the information input screen image. On a function setting area, a plurality of function setting keys are displayed and, if a flick operation to the right made by the input device on the function setting area is detected, detailed setting items corresponding to each of the function setting keys are displayed on a detailed settings area. Consequently, contents of detailed settings can be displayed at one time in correspondence with each of the function setting keys. Therefore, it becomes possible for the user to easily confirm whether or not function setting is appropriate, and to smoothly select a function. | 04-19-2012 |
20120099128 | Image Forming Apparatus - An image forming apparatus includes a document reader, a storage for storing image data, an image output unit and a control unit. The control unit includes a display image generator for generating a display image, a display panel and a control unit-side controller having a function of presenting the display image based on the image data input in a preview representation and an output processing function of implementing an output process. As the output processing function, two schemes are provided: a first output scheme wherein, when image data has been input through the input unit, the images are output after displaying the images to be output in a preview representation on a display panel, and a second output scheme wherein, when image data has been input through the input unit, the image is directly output without displaying the image to be output in a preview representation on the display panel. | 04-26-2012 |
20140211258 | OPERATION CONSOLE, CONTROL METHOD THEREOF AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - In an operation unit, a display panel displays a two-sided copy setting screen image including a still image display area on which a plurality of software keys (two-sided copy setting keys) corresponding to respective ones of a plurality of processes (one-sided/one-sided copy process, one-sided/two-sided copy process, two-sided/two-sided copy process and two-sided/one-sided copy process), for selecting any of the plurality of processes, are displayed. A touch-panel receives an input operation to the plurality of software keys. In response to the touch-panel receiving the input operation, a CPU displays, on a movie display area different from the still image display area of the two-sided copy setting screen image, an image representing contents of the selected process in a prescribed state. | 07-31-2014 |
20150215482 | OPERATION CONSOLE, AND ELECTRONIC DEVICE AND IMAGE PROCESSING APPARATUS PROVIDED WITH THE OPERATION CONSOLE - An operation unit of an image forming apparatus having a plurality of operation modes, allowing accurate and easy input by the user requesting switching of display to a screen image allowing selection of an operation mode, includes: a pilot lamp, a touch-panel display, and hardware keys including a power key, an energy-saving key and a home key. The home key that switches the display on the touch-panel display to an operation mode selecting screen image (home screen image) when pressed is provided closer to the touch-panel display than other hardware buttons. | 07-30-2015 |
