Image forming apparatus and image forming method for setting image forming size

摘要

An image forming apparatus includes an operating section, a control section and an image display unit. The operating section accepts inputting operations for settings on information on an image forming size of an original image and a setting on a paper sheet size. The control section compares the image forming size with the paper sheet size, and outputs, if the image forming size exceeds the paper sheet size at least in either of a lengthwise direction and a lateral direction, a notice signal to cause a notice to that effect. The image display unit displays a preview image based on the notice signal.

1. An image forming apparatus comprising:
a first operating section that accepts an inputting operation for a setting on information on an image forming size of an original image; a second operating section that accepts an inputting operation for a setting on a paper sheet size; a control section that compares the set image forming size with the set paper sheet size and outputs, if the image forming size exceeds the paper sheet size at least in either of a lengthwise direction and a lateral direction, a notice signal to cause a notice to that effect; and a notice section that serves the notice to a user based on the notice signal; wherein the control section, in a case of executing a print job to carry out image forming processes for a plurality of image data one after another, based on information on set image forming sizes and set paper sheet sizes for a whole of the print job, compares each image forming size with each paper sheet size and outputs the notice signal when the image forming size exceeds the paper sheet size at least in either of the lengthwise direction and the lateral direction before execution of an image forming process for each of the plurality of image data of the print job.
