Abstract: Provided is an information displaying apparatus in which even when an image movement operation is received, it is possible to move an image excluding an image desired by a user. The apparatus is able to receive a predetermined selection movement operation for selecting a part or the whole of the image that is being displayed currently as an image to be moved for moving and a predetermined selection operation for selecting a part of the image that is being displayed currently as a movement prohibition image. When the predetermined selection movement operation is received in a state where the movement prohibition image is selected depending on the above-described predetermined selection operation, the apparatus executes display control to move the above-described image to be moved in a state where the above-described movement prohibition image is displayed at a current display position as it is.

Abstract: In an image forming apparatus including a control unit made of a display panel and a touch panel display and having one-sided image forming mode and dual-sided image forming mode, the touch panel display includes: a finished state preview controller for displaying the finished state of a hard copy; and a confirmatory display controller. The display panel includes a first display area, a second display area and a third display area. The image forming apparatus includes a display position switching controller that switches the position of the image of the page to be turned to be displayed in the third display area, depending on the image forming mode.

Abstract: In a network environment having a plurality of image forming apparatuses connected thereto, an image forming apparatus that can reduce down time related to printing without increasing burden on system construction is provided. An image forming apparatus includes a communication unit communicating with other apparatuses through the network, an image forming unit connected to the communication unit through a bus, a print instruction management unit connected to the communication unit through the bus and capable of transmitting a print request, received through the communication unit, to designated one of the image forming apparatuses connected to the network, and a server setting unit determining, by a prescribed procedure, which of the apparatuses having the print server function connected to the network, to be the print server.
