Patent number: 8804148Abstract: An image forming apparatus displays, on a display section, a plurality of button areas to which setting values in relation to functions of the image forming apparatus are assigned. In a case that an input form of an instruction coordinate to the display section is a predetermined first form, the setting values assigned to a button area in which the instruction coordinate is positioned are displayed on the display section. In a case that after the setting values are displayed and further that change operation for a specific setting value is inputted, the specific setting value is changed. In a case that the instruction coordinate is positioned in a button area of the plurality of button areas and that the input form of the instruction coordinate is a predetermined second form, the image forming apparatus is operated based on the setting values assigned in the button area.Type: GrantFiled: September 12, 2012Date of Patent: August 12, 2014Assignee: Brother Kogyo Kabushiki KaishaInventor: Tomomi Arai
