Abstract
When a user carries out an operation related to a setting or maintenance operation by displaying menu representations (to) on a console panel in a copying machine, if a predetermined time (five seconds) passes without a next operation of the user (), a hint representation () is displayed to display a guidance message for a next operation. Under a state that the hint representation () is displayed, when menu buttons (and) are pressed, a screen returns a menu representation just before the hint representation (), so that an operation just before the hint representation can be continuously carried out. Under a state that the hint representation () is displayed, when a stop button () is pressed, the screen displays a normal representation () in an idle state, so that a copying operation or the like can be performed.
