Image forming apparatus, image forming method, and print system

摘要

Disclosed is an image forming apparatus including a command receiving unit that receives a print command, a detector that detects a state of the operation unit, and a controller. When the detector detects that the state of the operation unit is a predetermined state subsequent to receiving the print command by the command receiving unit and prior to completion of printing based on the print command, the controller causes the printing to be terminated. When the detector detects that the state of the operation unit is not the predetermined state subsequent to receiving the print command by the command receiving unit and prior to the completion of the printing based on the print command, the controller causes the printing to be executed.

1. An image forming apparatus comprising:
a command receiving unit configured to receive a first print command, wherein the first print command is input through an operation unit that is configured to receive a user's operation; and the operation unit is configured to be controlled by an operating system that is different from an operating system of the image forming apparatus; and a controller configured to,
store a first state,detect a current state of the operation unit, andgenerate a comparison result based on the current state of the operation unit and the stored first state, wherein the controller is configured such that, in response to the comparison result indicating that the current state of the operation unit is a predetermined state subsequent to receiving the first print command by the command receiving unit and prior to completion of first printing based on the first print command, the controller causes the first printing based on the first print command received by the command receiving unit to be terminated, and wherein the controller is configured such that, in response to the comparison result indicating that the current state of the operation unit is not the predetermined state subsequent to receiving the first print command by the command receiving unit and prior to the completion of the first printing based on the first print command, the controller causes the first printing based on the first print command received by the command receiving unit to be executed.
