Abstract:
According to an embodiment, an image forming apparatus includes a communication device, a storage device, a display, a printer, and a processor. The communication device receives a document from a different apparatus. The processor causes the display to display, on the basis of the received documents stored in the storage device, a list of the received documents in an unprinted state, which are not yet printed by the printer, by distinguishing between the received document in an unread state that is not yet displayed by the display and the received document in an already-read state that is already displayed by the display.
