PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent transfer paper from being left in the device even when an instruction to stop the device is given in the course of an image forming job. SOLUTION: When the instruction to stop the device is given by the depression of a device stop key in the course of the image forming operation, a digital copying device judges whether transfer paper corresponding to the end of the copying is fed or not. In the case the transfer paper has not been fed, the permission of the execution of a paper feed operation is continued until the paper is fed, and the paper feed operation is stopped at a point in time that the transfer paper is fed. Thereafter onto the transfer paper corresponding to the end of the copying, the image forming process is performed by a printer. After the ejection of the transfer paper onto a stacker tray, the device is stopped (the image forming operation is temporarily interrupted). |
