A system CPU sets a storage area in a page memory when a copying operation has been started. Where a clear/stop key, etc. is depressed to suspend the copying operation, the system CPU checks whether there is data in the page memory. If there is data in the page memory, the system CPU displays a selection screen on a message display section for selection as to whether the data in the page memory should be retained or released. Where "HOLD" is determined, the system CPU performs re-scanning and stores data in the page memory at the time the setting has been changed and the copying operation has been resumed. On the other hand, where "RELEASE" is determined, the system CPU releases the data in the page memory and performs re-scanning and stores data in the page memory at the time the setting has been changed and the copying operation has been resumed. Finally, the printing of the data in the page memory is resumed by a printer. |
