Abstract:
An image forming apparatus includes at least one of a print engine and a scan engine, a communication interface, a display, and a controller configured to perform at least one of controlling the print engine to perform printing and controlling the display to display a status of the printing, and controlling the scan engine to perform image scanning and controlling the display to display a status of the image scanning. The controller is further configured to sequentially switch a target image to be displayed from one still image to another among a plurality of still images constituting an animation, thereby displaying the animation on the display, and change a manner to display the animation when the image forming apparatus is remotely connected with an information processing device.
