An image formation device for executing a printing job to form a toner image on a record sheet, characterized by comprising: an operation panel configured to move between a first position at which the operation panel protrudes from a front side of a device body and a second position at which the operation panel is retracted to a device body side with respect to the first position; an acquisition means configured to obtain state information indicating a state of the device body, the state information including one or more of the following: information on whether or not a consumable of the device body is empty, and/or information on whether or not a waste toner bottle is in a full state, and/or information on whether or not jam occurs in the device body; and a control means configured to determine, based on the obtained state information, whether the state of the device body is a state requiring a user access to the device body, wherein the user access to the body includes one or more of the user opening a front door provided at the front of the device body for accessing a toner bottle and/or the user using a handle (30B, 30C) provided on the front side of the device body for pulling out a paper supply cassette accommodated in the device body and to retract the operation panel to the second position based on the determination result that the state of the internal operation of the device body is a state requiring a user access to the device body, before the user accesses the body. an operation panel configured to move between a first position at which the operation panel protrudes from a front side of a device body and a second position at which the operation panel is retracted to a device body side with respect to the first position; an acquisition means configured to obtain state information indicating a state of the device body, the state information including one or more of the following: information on whether or not a consumable of the device body is empty, and/or information on whether or not a waste toner bottle is in a full state, and/or information on whether or not jam occurs in the device body; and a control means configured to determine, based on the obtained state information, whether the state of the device body is a state requiring a user access to the device body, wherein the user access to the body includes one or more of the user opening a front door provided at the front of the device body for accessing a toner bottle and/or the user using a handle (30B, 30C) provided on the front side of the device body for pulling out a paper supply cassette accommodated in the device body and to retract the operation panel to the second position based on the determination result that the state of the internal operation of the device body is a state requiring a user access to the device body, before the user accesses the body. information on whether or not a consumable of the device body is empty, and/or information on whether or not a waste toner bottle is in a full state, and/or information on whether or not jam occurs in the device body; and a control means configured to determine, based on the obtained state information, whether the state of the device body is a state requiring a user access to the device body, wherein the user access to the body includes one or more of the user opening a front door provided at the front of the device body for accessing a toner bottle and/or the user using a handle (30B, 30C) provided on the front side of the device body for pulling out a paper supply cassette accommodated in the device body and to retract the operation panel to the second position based on the determination result that the state of the internal operation of the device body is a state requiring a user access to the device body, before the user accesses the body.
