Abstract:
1. An image forming apparatus comprising: a transport roller configured to transport a manuscript; a reading mechanism configured to read the manuscript transported by the transport roller; a manuscript sensor configured to detect the manuscript; a transport controller configured to control the transport roller so that the manuscript is interposed by the transport roller under a condition that the manuscript is detected by the manuscript sensor; a display unit; a display controller configured to: control the display unit to display a first screen under a condition that the manuscript is not detected by the manuscript sensor; and control the display unit to display a second screen in place of the first screen, wherein the second screen shows a representation of a discharge function to discharge the manuscript interposed by the transport roller from the image forming apparatus, and wherein the display unit is controlled to display the second screen under a condition that the manuscript is detected by the manuscript sensor; and an input device configured to, during display of the second screen, receive an input from a user, wherein the input invokes the discharge function, wherein the transport controller is configured to control the transport roller to discharge the manuscript interposed by the transport roller from the image forming apparatus without reading the manuscript by the reading mechanism under a condition that the input invoking the discharge function is received by the input device.
