ABSTRACT:
In an image forming apparatus, and related method of forming an image, having a copy function, a printer function, and a facsimile function, when the absence of the toner is detected, a copy or a data print from a computer is inhibited but a recording of an image which was facsimile received is permitted. Thus, a situation such that the facsimile reception cannot be performed due to the absence of the toner at night or the like is prevented.
