Image Forming Apparatus Capable of Changing Internal Environment Settings, and Method of Changing Internal Environment Settings of Image Forming Apparatus

摘要

An image forming apparatus includes an internal environment setting, a setting changing unit, an operation invalidation unit, and a change prohibition unit. The setting changing unit changes an item of the internal environment setting in response to an operation input performed on an operation input unit or in response to an external input. The operation invalidation unit receives an invalidation instruction and invalidates the operation input performed on the operation input unit. The change prohibition unit prohibits the external input from changing an item of the internal environment setting that is locked at the operation input unit in response to the operation invalidation unit receiving the invalidation instruction.
