As user during near main body 1, proximity transducer 99 detects approaching user.Microprocessor 81a detects the detection signal from proximity transducer 99, and to lifting control circuit 83 output commands, makes user's height of operating operation panel 67b (second height) easily so that main body 1 is moved vertically to.In response to this order, lifting control circuit 83 drives lifting CD-ROM drive motor 9 so that main body 1 is positioned second height.
Second is defined as highly in this article, is the determined height of the user with average height, and the value of second height is stored among the ROM 81b.
Replacedly, when proximity transducer 99 detects near the user, determine near object identification circuit 89 whether approaching user is complementary with any one registered user.If approaching user is identified as the registered user, then microprocessor 81a is according to the elevation information as the registration of this user's user profile, main body 1 moved vertically to make user's height of operating operation panel 67b easily.
From the terminal request print job that is connected to device via network and between operational period or the user who after operation, is registered as the user of this terminal in advance be detected as under the situation near object, microprocessor 81a can judge the paper that sends after requesting users is being printed with taking-up near device, and main body 1 is moved vertically to the height that makes the user can take out paper easily from discharge tray.
When pressing copying operation key 22C pressing start key 70a then after the user has laid original copy, microprocessor 81a begins copying operation.Then, the image of original copy is read and is printed on the paper.
After in the end a piece of paper was printed, microprocessor 81a moved vertically to main body 1 height (the 5th height) that makes the user can take out the paper of discharging easily from discharge tray 63.Herein, the 5th highly is to determine in the following manner.Difference in height between guidance panel 67b and the discharge tray 63 is stored among the ROM 81b of main body control circuit 81 in advance.Microprocessor 81a obtains the difference in height that paper is discharged to the discharge tray 63 on it, and comes mobile agent 1 vertically according to this difference in height.
When the user when discharge tray 63 removes paper, discharge tray sensor 95 detects removing of paper, and output detection signal.Based on this detection signal, microprocessor 81a detects removing of paper.Then, microprocessor 81a is moved upwards up to first height with main body 1, and makes main body 1 keep standby.
Although described an exemplary operation like this, when carrying out print job or fax operation, perhaps exhaust or during toner-out when the generation paper, microprocessor 81a also can be based on the detection signal of each sensor and mobile agent 1 vertically.
