  • Patent number: 9116483
    Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a job execution portion, an operation portion, and a storage portion. The job execution portion executes a job. The operation portion receives an operation of selecting a setting item used in a job to be executed, an operation of setting a setting value of a job to be executed, and an execution instruction for a job. The storage portion stores a content of a specific operation of making the operation portion into a state where a plurality of touch operations have been performed by one touch operation. The job execution portion makes a job execution speed different between a job for which the specific operation has been performed on the operation portion during setting operation, and a job set by only a normal operation without the specific operation during setting operation on the operation portion.

  • Patent number: 8913266
    Abstract: An image forming apparatus has a printing section and a document reading section. The printing section prints on paper while transporting it. The document reading section includes a document transport portion which automatically transports, sheet by sheet, a document placed thereon. The document reading section generates image data by reading the document. The document reading section is operable in an ordinary reading mode in which it reads the document at a previously determined ordinary speed and in a quiet reading mode in which it reads the document at a quiet speed lower than the ordinary speed. The document reading section reads the document in the quiet reading mode when the printing section is not printing and in the ordinary reading mode when the printing section is printing.
