Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An image forming apparatus capable of executing a job on the basis of a set value, and storing a history of the job, the image forming apparatus including: a storage that stores, as setting history information, the set value of the executed job; a display that displays the setting history information stored in the storage; and a controller that executes the job based on the setting history information displayed on the display, wherein when the controller receives a display change instruction for the setting history information, the controller changes a display format of the setting history information from execution order of the job to a display format pertaining to the display change instruction.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1 . An image forming apparatus capable of executing a job on the basis of a set value, and storing a history of the job, the image forming apparatus comprising: a storage that stores, as setting history information, the set value of the executed job; a display that displays the setting history information stored in the storage; and a controller that executes the job based on the setting history information displayed on the display, wherein when the controller receives a display change instruction for the setting history information, the controller changes a display format of the setting history information from execution order of the job to a display format pertaining to the display change instruction. 2 . The image forming apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein a sorting process based on a predetermined input value is included in the display change instruction for the setting history information. 3 . The image forming apparatus according to claim 2 , wherein any of an execution user name of the job, execution date and time of the job, a function of the job, a priority display identifier, and the set value is included in the predetermined input value. 4 . The image forming apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the controller changes the display format of the setting history information by performing an enlarged display process for a specific one piece of the setting history information. 5 . The image forming apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the controller changes the display format of the setting history information by performing a contrast display process for a plurality of pieces of the setting history information. 6 . The image forming apparatus according to claim 5 , wherein the contrast display process includes highlighting for highlighting a changed part in which the set value is changed. 7 . The image forming apparatus according to claim 6 , wherein the highlighting includes any of difference part display for displaying only difference parts different from the plurality of pieces of setting history information to be contrasted, difference part display color change for changing display colors of the difference parts, or difference part priority display for preferentially displaying the difference parts. 8 . The image forming apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the storage stores the number of times of execution of the job, and the controller changes the display format of the setting history information by performing a sorting process of the setting history information on the basis of the number of times of the execution of the job. 9 . A control method for an image forming apparatus capable of executing a job on the basis of a set value, and storing a history of the job, the control method comprising: storing, as setting history information, the set value of the executed job; displaying the setting history information stored in the storing; and controlling execution of the job based on the setting history information displayed in the displaying, wherein in the controlling, when a display change instruction for the setting history information is received, a display format of the setting history information is changed from execution order of the job to a display format pertaining to the display change instruction.
