Image forming apparatus, control method, and storage medium storing a computer program, for inhibiting switching to a normal mode in a removable storage device is detected or inhibiting a specific mode if the removable storage device is not detected

摘要

An electronic apparatus that is capable of securely preventing a user who has worked in a dedicated mode using a storage device such as a removable medium from forgetting to remove the storage device. The electronic apparatus is operated in a normal mode or a dedicated mode in which a particular process including accessing an available medium is performed. When the dedicated mode is switched to the normal mode by the mode switching module, a removable medium detecting module detects whether an available storage device is connected to a removable media drive, and if an available storage device is detected by the removable medium detecting module, the switching to the normal mode is inhibited by mode switching inhibiting module.
