PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image-forming apparatus where a user reserves a copying function in the case that a printer is in operation regardless that the user desirably uses the copying function and the user can make copying after the end of a present print job, even when other printer jobs are spooled. SOLUTION: A printer controller 99 receives a printer job from an external device 122 and uses a printer to print out data. A user IF task 130 accepts a reservation entry of a copying function using a scanner and a printer, while the printer controller 99 executes a printer job. A job management task 133 reserves the right of use of the scanner and the printer after the end of the printer job under execution at present in response to the copy reservation entry. |
