In step S103, CPU 10 specifies the scroll direction, and screen data The next display range is determined by moving a predetermined amount in the scroll direction from the current display range. Here, it is assumed that a predetermined amount is moved in advance by a scroll operation, but the scroll amount is also detected, and the next display range is determined by moving the amount and display range according to the scroll amount. Good.

  The CPU 10 confirms whether or not there is a selection button already selected among the selection buttons included in the screen data. As a result, when there is a selected selection button (YES in step S105), it is further determined whether the selected selection button is outside or within the display range determined in step S103. to decide.

  When the selected selection button is outside the next display range (YES in step S107), in step S109, the CPU 10 generates display data of a confirmation area for presenting the selection button, and in step S103 described above. A confirmation area pops up on the display screen displaying the determined display range.

  If the selected selection button is within the next display range (NO in step S107), in step S111, the CPU 10 specifies the selection button on the display screen on which the display range determined in step S103 is displayed, for example. The color is displayed in a selected manner, for example.

  If a plurality of selection buttons are selected, the determination in step S107 is performed for each of the selected selection buttons, and those outside the display range are displayed in a confirmation area and displayed in a pop-up display. Some are displayed in a selected manner on the display screen.

  By doing in this way, even if the selection button displayed on the display screen is updated by scrolling, it is possible to confirm the selection button previously selected in the confirmation area popped up.

  In the above example, when the scroll operation is detected, the selection button is displayed. However, the selection button page displayed in the selection button display area moves to the next page, and the selection button is displayed. A button display operation may be performed.

  That is, as shown in FIG. 8, when a scroll operation is performed (YES in step S101) and the next display range is determined (step S103), the CPU 10 determines that the determined display range is the next of the current display. It is determined whether it is a page, that is, a range that does not include the currently displayed selection button. As a result, if it is determined that the page is the next page (YES in step S104), the selection state of the selection button is confirmed and display operation is performed in the same manner as described above.

  By doing in this way, even if the selection button displayed on the display screen is updated by scrolling, the selection button previously selected in the confirmation area displayed in the pop-up can be confirmed.

<Operation outline 2>
As a second operation, MFP 100 receives an operation on the selection button presented in the confirmation area, and performs an operation of changing the selection state. This operation will be described as operation outline 2.

FIG. 9 is a diagram for explaining the operation outline 2.
Referring to FIG. 6 again, the confirmation area presenting the already selected selection button that is no longer arranged in the selection button display area can accept the input of the selection operation.
