ABSTRACT:
An operation section (28) of an image forming apparatus main body (2) comprises an operation display panel (30) for displaying letters and/or symbols representing various functions with respect to an image forming operation to allow an operator to select a desired function, and a status display panel (40) for displaying an image representing a growth stage and/or an appearance of a living thing such as a fish to show a current status of the main body (2). Accordingly, the current status of main body (2) is visually displayed on a display panel by association with a growth stage and/or an appearance of an actual living thing or an imaginary living thing, thereby enabling the operator to quickly see the present status of the apparatus.
