Image forming apparatus, method and program for controlling image forming apparatus

摘要

Problem to be solved: to provide an image forming apparatus capable of suppressing an increase in the time required for printing output even in the situation where the replenishment or replacement of the consumable material is necessary.The proposal processor 134 determines whether or not the job can be executed based on the conditions set for the job and the status information 114.The proposal processing unit 134 executes a proposal processing for outputting at least one proposal condition of the job executable in the image forming apparatus of the state indicated by the state information 114 from the speaker 107 in accordance with the decision that the job execution is impossible.The image forming apparatus further includes a switching portion 131 for enabling or disabling the sound operation mode for operating the image forming apparatus 1 in response to the sound input to the microphone 106.The proposal processing unit 134 stops the proposal processing when the voice operation mode is invalid, and starts the proposal processing when the voice operation mode is valid.Diagram
