IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, COMPUTER READABLE RECORDING MEDIUM STORED WITH COMPUTER PROGRAM FOR CONTROLLING IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS

摘要

An image forming apparatus capable of ensuring a log when a malfunction has occurred in an operation panel, without affecting working performance of the image forming apparatus is provided. The image forming apparatus includes a volatile memory, an operation device, and a processor. The volatile memory accumulates a log of actions of each function and has a volatile property. The operation device receives user operations performed by a user. The processor is configured to determine whether a user operation pattern based on a series of the user operations within a certain period of time received by the operation device satisfies a predetermined condition or not. Then, when the user operation pattern satisfies the predetermined condition, the processor is configured to store the log accumulated in the volatile memory into a nonvolatile memory having a nonvolatile property.
