<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming apparatus that exerts control for efficient order of execution taking account of not only jobs in a queue but also a job being set. <P>SOLUTION: When the execution of a job 1 in a first printing mode (for example, three-dimensional printing) is finished, a new job is being set for the first printing mode (three-dimensional printing) on an operation display section or the driver screen of a terminal device and a job for the first printing mode is not present in a print queue 30 but jobs 2, 3, and 4 for a second printing mode (for example, monochrome printing) is present. In this case, the start of the execution of a job for the second printing mode is suspended, and after the setting of the job in the first printing mode is finished, this job is executed before the jobs in the print queue. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
