Abstract
A printing apparatus electronically processes an imput image and outputs the processed image from a recording section. The printing apparatus includes: a managing section which manages an operating status of the printing apparatus; a display section which notifies an administrator of information that recommends confirming expendables used by the recording section to output the image; and a CPU which, based on the information of the operating status of the printing apparatus managed by the managing section, recommends the administrator through the display section to confirm the expendables. As a result, an image output apparatus of the present invention is provided that manages its past operating status, and, based on the managed information, informs the administrator of the operating status in advance, so as to ensure stable operations without arrest.
