<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming apparatus capable of achieving smooth operation of UI without temporarily stopping various jobs, even if the CPU throughput runs short and can relax the stress to users. <P>SOLUTION: An MFP (Multi Functional Peripheral) 10 includes: a main CPU for controlling operation of the MFP 10 according an operating condition set to the MFP 10; a job management table 105 for sequentially registering input jobs by priority; and a job execution control part 104 for determining whether to permit execution of the job according to the order of registration from a job with high priority that is registered in the job management table 105. The job execution control part 104 calculates, based on a job condition of a job intended for permission determination, the CPU utilization associated with execution of the job, then restricts an operating condition of the MFP 10 when the calculated CPU utilization exceeds a predetermined value, and permits execution of the job according to the restricted operating condition when the CPU utilization when the operating condition is restricted becomes the predetermined value or lower. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
