IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS
FIG1 is a schematic external view illustrating an image forming apparatus according to an embodiment
FIG1 is a schematic external view illustrating a specific example of an image forming apparatus 100 according to the embodiment. The image forming apparatus 100 is, for example, an MFP (Multi-Function Peripheral) . The image forming apparatus 100 includes a display 110, a control panel 120, a printer 130, a sheet housing section 140 and an image reading section 200. Furthermore, the printer 130 of the image processing apparatus 100 may be a device for fixing a toner image. The control panel 120 includes a plurality of buttons. The control panel 120 receives an operation input from a user. The control panel 120 outputs a signal corresponding to an operation input by the user to a control section of the image forming apparatus 100. In the example of FIG1, the display 110 and the control panel 120 are separately provided. However, both of the display 110 and the control panel 120 may be integrally provided as a touch panel display. For example, the control panel 120 acquires information (hereinafter, referred to as "image formation instruction information") instructing the image forming apparatus 100 to form an image. The image formation instruction information is input to the control panel 120 by a user.
