  • Publication number: 20250039314
    Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a rotary mechanism that allows a display device to rotate between a landscape orientation in which the long sides are opposed in an up-down direction, and a portrait orientation in which the short sides are opposed in the up-down direction, and a controller that displays a second preview screen, in which a preview image display region has been expanded, when the display device, displaying a first preview screen, has been shifted from the landscape orientation to the portrait orientation. When the display device is shifted from the portrait orientation to the landscape orientation, in a state where the second preview screen is displayed on the display device, and a job assigned with respect to image data corresponding to the second preview image is suspended, the controller displays a message urging inputting of an instruction on whether to resume the job, on the display device.

  • Publication number: 20250030804
    Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes: a rotation mechanism capable of rotating a rectangular display device between a landscape orientation with longer sides being top and bottom and a portrait orientation with shorter sides being top and bottom; a detection sensor that detects switching of the display device between the landscape orientation and the portrait orientation; and a controller that, upon detection of switching of the display device from the landscape orientation to the portrait orientation by the detection sensor, enlarges a preview display area and allows a preview to be displayed in a size enlarged to fit the enlarged preview display area and displayed to make top and bottom edges of the preview parallel to the shorter sides of the display device.

  • Publication number: 20250028492
    Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a display device, a rotation mechanism that allows the display device to rotate between a landscape orientation in which the long sides are a top and a bottom and a portrait orientation in which the short sides are a top and a bottom, a detection sensor that detects switching between the landscape orientation and the portrait orientation of the display device, and a controller that causes the display device to perform display according to a posture of the display device based on a detection result obtained by the detection sensor. Further, when the controller determines that the posture of the display device has switched at a predetermined frequency or more based on the detection result obtained by the detection sensor, the controller causes the display device to display a message indicating occurrence of a problem related to a rotational operation of the display device.

  • Publication number: 20250029539
    Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes: a display device with a rectangular shape having long sides and short sides; a rotation mechanism causing the display device to be rotatable between a landscape orientation with the long sides located on upper and lower sides and a portrait orientation with the short sides located on the upper and lower sides; a detection sensor detecting which of landscape and portrait orientations the display device is in; and a controller displaying an error screen including a concept image and a text indicating details of an error on the display device. The controller arranges first and second display regions on the error screen, and horizontally arranges the first and second display regions when the detection sensor detects the landscape orientation of the display device, or vertically arranges the first and second display regions when the detection sensor detects the portrait orientation of the display device.

  • Patent number: 11811987
    Abstract: An operation input device accepts non-contact operation on an operation image with a pointer. The operation input device includes a display panel and a sensing portion. The sensing portion outputs a first output value and a second output value. If a first operation image, which is an operation image corresponding to the second output value observed when the first output value is equal to a first reference value, and a second operation image, which is an operation image corresponding to the second output value observed when the first output value is equal to a second reference, differ, the display panel displays the first and second operation images with highlighting.
