IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS AND COMPUTER-READABLE NON-TRANSITORY RECORDING MEDIUM WITH IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS CONTROL PROGRAM RECORDED THEREON

摘要

An image forming apparatus includes an image reading section, a storage section, a communication section, an acceptance section, and an operation control section. The storage section has a plurality of storage regions at least one or more of which are signage-specific storage regions associated one-to-one with one or more digital signage devices. Each of the signage-specific storage region stores: a plurality of pieces of image data generated by the image reading section having read a number of documents; and setting data indicating a display setting of how the relevant digital signage device displays the pieces of image data. When the acceptance section accepts a delivery instruction, the operation control section allows the communication section to send the pieces of image data and the setting data both stored in the signage-specific storage region associated with the relevant digital signage device designated in the delivery instruction to the relevant digital signage device.
