Abstract

A scroll distance in a scroll display performed during a preview display of a print job to which a specific printing method is specified is set to be shorter than a scroll distance in a scroll display performed during a preview display of a print job to which the specific printing method is not specified.

Claims (27)

1. An image forming apparatus comprising:

a display unit including a touch panel;

a printing unit configured to execute a print job;

a preview display unit configured to display a preview of each page of the print job on the display unit before printing the print job;

a specification unit configured to specify a specific printing method for laying out and printing a plurality of pages of documents on one sheet of printing paper as a setting of the print job; and

a display control unit configured to perform a scroll display on each page displayed in preview by the preview display unit according to a flick operation performed on a touch panel,

wherein the display control unit is configured to set a scroll distance in a scroll display performed during a preview display of a print job to which the specific printing method is specified to be shorter than a scroll distance in a scroll display performed during a preview display of a print job to which the specific printing method is not specified, and

wherein the display control unit is configured to set a scroll distance in a scroll display performed during a preview display of a print job to which a printing method based on an N-in-1 layout is specified to be 1/N the scroll distance in a case where the printing method is not specified.

2. The image forming apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the specific printing method is a printing method for performing printing in an N-in-1 layout in which N pages of documents are regarded as N pages of logical pages, and each of the N pages of logical pages is reduced in size and laid out on one surface of a single sheet of printing paper, and

wherein the display control unit is configured to set a scroll distance in a scroll display performed during a preview display of a print job to which a printing method based on an N-in-1 layout is specified to be shorter as a value of N increases.

3. The image forming apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the specific printing method is two-sided printing.

4. The image forming apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising a scanner configured to generate image data by reading a document,

wherein the preview display is a preview display performed in a case where printing of image data generated by the scanner is executed.

5. An image forming apparatus comprising:

a display unit including a touch panel;

a printing unit configured to execute a print job;

a preview display unit configured to display a preview of each page on the display unit before printing of the print job;

a specification unit configured to specify execution of specific image processing to the print job; and

a display control unit configured to perform a scroll display on each page displayed in preview by the preview display unit according to a flick operation performed on a touch panel,

wherein the display control unit is configured to set a scroll distance or a scroll speed in a scroll display performed during a preview display of a print job to which a printing method based on an N-in-1 layout is specified to be 1/N the scroll distance in a case where the printing method is not specified.

6. A method for controlling an image forming apparatus having a display unit that includes a touch panel, the method comprising:

executing a print job;

displaying a preview of each page on the display unit before printing of the print job;

specifying a specific printing method for laying out and printing a plurality of pages of documents on one sheet of printing paper as a setting of the print job; and

performing display control to perform a scroll display on each page displayed in preview according to a flick operation performed on a touch panel,

wherein the display control sets a scroll distance in a scroll display performed during a preview display of a print job to which a printing method based on an N-in-1 layout is specified to be 1/N the scroll distance in a case where the printing method is not specified.

7. A non-transitory storage medium storing a program for causing a computer to execute a method according to claim 6 .
