Abstract:
1. An image forming apparatus for performing combine setting, comprising: an input unit for accepting an operation input by a user; a setting unit for performing combine setting for arranging a plurality of designated original images onto a sheet of output paper in combination; and a display unit for previewing at least one original image of said plurality of designated original images and an output result thereof on a display device, wherein when said input unit accepts an instruction for combine setting, said setting unit executes a first setting process of setting a reduction ratio of said original image as a first reduction ratio based on an orientation of said original image and an orientation of said output paper, and when said input unit accepts an instruction to change the reduction ratio of said previewed original image, said setting unit executes a second setting process of calculating a reduction ratio after said change as a second reduction ratio, comparing said first reduction ratio with said second reduction ratio, and, if said second reduction ratio falls within a prescribed range from said first reduction ratio, setting said first reduction ratio as a reduction ratio of said original image for arranging on said sheet of output paper in combination.
