A display device includes a plurality of displays, and a controller. The displays are configured to, when an apparatus is performing an operation, display a state of the apparatus. The controller is configured to, in response to an error occurring in the apparatus, display an indication of occurrence of the error on the displays in a manner that causes a first subset and a second subset of the displays to turn on, and that causes a third subset of the displays to turn off.
