IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS

摘要

A clearing section includes a counter for measuring a period up to the reset of contents set by means of an operation panel to initial values. If a position discriminating section discriminates that the operation panel is at a first position, the clearing section starts measuring the period by means of the counter from the first entry made to the operation panel. When a count value reaches a predetermined value, the clearing section executes an automatic clear processing to reset the contents set by means of the operation panel to the initial values. On the other hand, the clearing section cancels the execution of the automatic clear processing if the position discriminating section discriminates that the operation panel is at a second position.

1. An image forming apparatus, comprising:
an operation display unit mounted on an apparatus main body such that an angle of inclination thereof to horizontal direction is adjustable and adapted to display various operation images, a detecting unit for detecting the angle of inclination of the operation display unit, and an operation executing unit for executing an associated processing relating to an image formation when the detecting unit detects that the state of the operation display unit has been adjusted from an initial state, wherein the operation executing unit changes the displayed state of the operation image to increase the visibility of the operation image to be displayed on the operation display unit when the detecting unit detects that the state of the operation display unit has been changed from the initial state, the detecting unit detects the angle of inclination of the operation display unit, and the operation executing unit causes the operation display unit, and the operation executing unit causes the operation image to be displayed on the operation display unit while rotating the operation image according to the angle of inclination of the operation display unit.
