Abstract:
An image forming apparatus includes a warning mode to issue an alert when a human detection sensor detects a person while the image forming apparatus is in an operation mode. When a central processing unit has received print data from an external device during the warning mode, the central processing unit stores the received print data in a storage device. The central processing unit executes print processing for the stored print data when the warning mode has been released.
