ABSTRACT:
An image formation apparatus has a timer, a reset unit and a controller. The timer measures time for a non-operation state of an operation screen. The reset unit initializes a setting of the operation screen when the non-operation state of the operation screen continues for a predetermined period. The controller inhibits the reset unit from executing the initialization when an execution file which cooperates with an external device is executed or data are exchanged with the external device, even if the non-operation state of the operation screen continues for the predetermined period.
