Image forming apparatus and method for controlling the same

1. An image forming apparatus, comprising:

a body portion;

an image forming unit, disposed in the body portion, configured to print data;

a display having a screen on an upper side of the display facing away from an upper side of the body portion, the upper side of the display configured to be substantially horizontally disposed based on a paper sheet, and a lower side of the display being disposed above the body portion so as to be spaced apart from the body portion at a predetermined interval; and

a scan unit, disposed on the lower side of the display, configured to scan the paper sheet disposed on the upper side of the body portion,

wherein

the display is further configured to display the scanned paper sheet as a document captured by the scan unit.

2. The image forming apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the display displays the document captured by the scan unit in real time.

3. The image forming apparatus as claimed in claim 2 , further comprising a controller to control storage in a storage unit of the document captured by the scan unit in response to a scan command being input to the image forming apparatus.

4. The image forming apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the predetermined interval is 100 mm to 200 mm.

5. The image forming apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the body portion comprises a container to store a paper.

6. The image forming apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein

the body portion comprises a discharger disposed on a left or right side of the body portion, and

the discharger discharges a printout.

7. The image forming apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a second scan unit disposed in the body portion, wherein the second scan unit automatically feeds a second document placed in a document loader disposed on a left or right side of the body portion and scans the second document.

8. The image forming apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the scan unit further comprises a wide angle lens and the scan unit scans the paper sheet through a wide angle lens.

9. The image forming apparatus as claimed in claim 8 , further comprising an image processor which compensates for distortion of a scan image generated by the scan unit scanning the paper sheet.

10. The image forming apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the display is disposed such that the upper side of the display is inclined to one side based on the paper sheet.

11. The image forming apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the display is rotatably connected to the body portion.

12. The image forming apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein an image display region of the display is greater than an A3 paper.

13. The image forming apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the scan unit scans the paper sheet to generate a scanned image and the display displays the scanned image including displaying an actual size of the paper sheet.

14. The image forming apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising a manipulation input unit configured to receive selection of a file stored in at least one of a storage unit in the image forming apparatus, a server, and a terminal apparatus,

wherein the display displays a document image corresponding to the selected file.

15. The image forming apparatus as claimed in claim 14 , further comprising:

a manipulation input unit which receives an edit command for a document image displayed on the display; and

an image processor which edits the document image according to the received edit command.

16. The image forming apparatus as claimed in claim 14 , further comprising a communication interface unit configured to receive additional information corresponding to the selected file from at least one of the storage unit, the server, and the terminal apparatus,

wherein the display displays the received additional information together with the document image.

17. The image forming apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein the display displays at least one of a function control menu for performing a function of the image forming apparatus, and pre-registered known information.

18. The image forming apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising:

a communication interface unit configured to receive data from a terminal apparatus; and

a controller to control the image forming unit to print the received data while performing a scan operation of the scan unit or a display operation of the display.

19. An image forming apparatus, comprising:

a body portion having an upper side horizontally disposed, a bottom side horizontally disposed, and left and right sides vertically disposed and connecting the lower and bottom sides;

an image forming unit, disposed in the body portion, configured to print data;

a display portion, including:

a connection part connected to the upper side of the body portion to project upward from the upper side of the body portion,

an extension part that extends from the connection part and over the upper side of the body portion such that the extension part is spaced apart from the upper side of the body portion in a vertical direction,

a scan unit, disposed on a lower side of the extension part of the display portion so as to face the upper side of the body portion, configured to scan a document disposed on the upper side of the body portion, and

a screen on an upper side of the display portion facing away from the upper side of the body portion, configured to display a scan image generated when the scan unit scans the document.

20. The image forming apparatus of claim 19 , wherein the body portion includes:

a document loader disposed on at least one of the left and right side of the body portion, and

a second scan unit, disposed in the body portion, configured to automatically feed a second document placed in the document loader and to scan the second document.
