Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a display section, a display controller, a reading section, an image detector, and a determining section. The display controller controls the display section. The reading section reads multiple documents placed on a specific surface of the image forming apparatus in a batch and generates whole image data indicating a whole image as a result of reading. The image detector detects document images corresponding to the documents based on the whole image data. The determining section determines whether or not batch reading of the documents has succeeded based on a result of detection of the document images. The display controller controls the display section such that the display section displays the document images in a first display format when the determining section determines that the reading has not succeeded, or in a second display format when the determining section determines that the reading has succeeded.

Abstract: An apparatus includes a row of substrate transfer devices 3 which can deliver a wafer W within a transfer chamber; and rows of process modules PM, arranged at right and left sides of the row of the substrate transfer devices along the row, configured to perform processes to the wafer W. The rows of the process modules PM are arranged such that each of the processes can be performed by at least two process modules PM. Thus, when a single process module PM cannot be used, the wafer W can be rapidly transferred to another process module PM which can perform the same process as performed in the corresponding process module. Therefore, even when the single process module PM cannot be used, the processes can be continued to the wafers W without stopping an operation of the apparatus, so that the number of wasted wafers W can be reduced.
