The present invention be in the time of will being provided at the operation that the execution that begins to carry out other operation (the 2nd operation) in the process that a certain operation (the 1st operation) carries out requires or in the operation of a certain operation (the 3rd operation), begin to carry out other operation (the 4th operation) even thereby the time operating system that obstacle also can not hinder the operation of the operation in the operation to proceed takes place in the operation of not operation.
In order to solve this problem, a certain operation (the 1st operation: background job) begin in the process of carrying out to carry out other operation (the 2nd operation: when execution foreground job) requires or as other situation a certain operation (the 3rd sample operation: begin in operation foreground job) to carry out other operation (the 4th operation: background job) even the time operation that obstacle is not forbidden operation yet takes place in ongoing operation (the 1st operation or the 4th operation), for example, adopt the information demonstration certain hour that only limits to expression has been taken place obstacle.And, show obstacle once more in the moment of the EO of judging the 2nd operation or the 3rd operation and take place.
Obstacle as ongoing operation is " copy paper obstruction ", " copy paper uses up ", " toner uses up " etc.On the other hand, when the such obstacle of " service call ", " the front cover plate is opened " took place, no matter condition how, action itself was certainly with regard to quiescing immediately.According to these obstacles, the continuation of system CPU 100 selection operations, forbid or stop.
Here, so-called foreground job is basically with regard to operation that is meant the user or the operation of indicating action according to operation.In addition, so-called background job is not the operation of user's direct control numeral duplicating machine 1, and is meant that the triggering (Data Receiving etc.) according to the outside indicate operation of moving.In the communication that the storer of faxing sends, owing to communication itself is to be judged by the facsimile recorder 312 of digital copier 1 to begin, so, belong to background job.
Below, with reference to the action of the operating system of the embodiment 1 of the digital copier 1 of flowchart text the invention described above in such structure of Fig. 8.
At first, under standby condition, the printing (ST1) of beginning background job, during key beyond the initiate key 101 of push panel 114 (ST2), system CPU 100 is just set the Status Flag (ST3) of operation (foreground job) beginning in the printing of expression backstage.Here, suppose the operation of having carried out the facsimile transmission pattern as foreground job.
When " copy paper stops up in arrangement " takes place in the background job that ST1 begins (ST4), shown in Fig. 9 A, system CPU 100 just shows " copy paper takes place to be stopped up " (ST5) in arrangement on the information display 93 of guidance panel 114, set the Status Flag in the printing of expression backstage, it is the operation (ST6) in the printing of backstage, so, behind certain hour, for example after 3 seconds, shown in Fig. 9 B, the demonstration that the deletion obstacle takes place is shown as " can carry out facsimile transmission ", proceeds operation (ST7).

Behind the EO of function setting, by pressing initiate key 101 (ST14), read original copy by scanner 2, begin to carry out facsimile transmission.
Then, (ST15) is in background job (operation originally: when ST16) certain obstacle taking place (ST17) in the operation of function setting, the demonstration that system CPU 100 just takes place at the obstacle that carries out on the information display 93 of guidance panel 114 about about 3 seconds, after 3 seconds, the demonstration that the cancellation obstacle takes place can be proceeded operation.
But, forbid carrying out the operation starting this moment.As long as supress initiate key 101, system CPU 100 finishes with regard to decision, and carries out demonstration (the obstacle notice: ST18), if removed obstacle, just can start (ST19) that obstacle takes place on the information display 93 of guidance panel 114 once more.
If opened front cover plate (in the present embodiment, auto document feeding means 4 being set), action just stops immediately.Its reason is exactly the danger that takes place in order to prevent to follow unusual releasing action.On the contrary, before cover plate is opened in front, then continue operation always.
After removing obstacle during the initiate key 101 of push panel 114 (ST20), from printer 3 printing (ST21) of tabulating/report, after this printing finishes, just can carry out function setting from guidance panel 114, when continuing the operation of setting facsimile transmission (ST22), read original copy by scanner 2, carry out facsimile transmission.In addition, after tabulation/report printing finished, printer 3 had been removed obstacle, so, just carry out background job (operation originally) (ST23).
Below, with reference to the action example of time diagram explanation when before the operation of carrying out foreground job obstacle having taken place in background job of Figure 12.
When certain obstacle has taken place (ST31) in the carrying out of background job (operation originally) in printer 3 (ST32),, just can not operate (setting) again as long as do not remove obstacle.But, not limited when obstacle is " no toner ".
That is, can not operate (ST33), on the information display 93 of guidance panel 114, carry out (the obstacle notice: ST34) that shows of obstacle even supress the function switch key 120 of guidance panel 114.
Removing obstacle (ST35) afterwards, (ST36) began to carry out background job (operation originally) (ST37) once more when printer 3 finished in preheating (W.UP).
In addition, after the preheating of printer 3 finished, by the function switch key 120 (ST38) of push panel 114, system CPU 100 was set the Status Flag of expression operation (foreground job) beginning, from guidance panel 114 set-up functions (ST39).
