An image forming apparatus and method are provided. The image forming apparatus includes an image processor for setting a display mode and print data according to the display mode, a user interface unit for receiving the display mode and displaying images of the print data, and an image forming unit for forming an image corresponding to a portion selected from the displayed images in the display mode. Therefore, even when a display mode in which images of print data are displayed is changed, a user does not need to perform onerous key manipulation for printing the image since an image corresponding to a portion selected from displayed print data can be directly printed when it is displayed in the changed display mode. Also, since images corresponding to print data changed according to a display mode and images corresponding to initially given print data can be used as images of a standby mode, it is unnecessary to change a display pattern which has already been displayed, in a standby mode, which is convenient for the users.
