An operation section ( 28 ) of an image forming apparatus main body ( 2 ) comprises an operation display panel ( 30 ) for displaying letters and/or symbols representing various functions with respect to an image forming operation to allow an operator to select a desired function, and a status display panel ( 40 ) for displaying an image representing a growth stage and/or an appearance of a living thing such as a fish to show a current status of the main body ( 2 ). Accordingly, the current status of main body ( 2 ) is visually displayed on a display panel by association with a growth stage and/or an appearance of an actual living thing or an imaginary living thing, thereby enabling the operator to quickly see the present status of the apparatus. |
