First Claim
Patent Images
1. A job processing method adapted to an image forming apparatus that is capable of processing data of a plurality of jobs including at least one job from the group consisting of:
- a job of a copy function that prints data from a scanner unit by a printer unit using a storage unit capable of storing a plurality of data, a job of a sending function that sends data of the storage unit to another apparatus, and a job of a print function that prints data from another apparatus by the printer unit using the storage unit, comprising;
causing a notification unit to notify an information concerning the image forming apparatus; and
enabling notification to an operator through the notification unit of information that enables the operator to confirm the fact that there is a job currently processed by the image forming apparatus and/or information that enables the operator to confirm the fact that there is a job in a waiting state for processing by the image forming apparatus, in a case where an operation relating to powering off the image forming apparatus is performed by the operator, when data of a job currently processed by the image forming apparatus and/or data of a job in a waiting state for processing by the image forming apparatus are stored in the storage unit.
