ABSTRACT:
An image forming apparatus operable in plural operation modes, one operation mode is set among the plural operation modes, and an operation condition is set in each of the plural operation modes. A controller judges whether or not the set operation condition is inhibited in the set operation mode, and further warns the operator of the judgment result when the controller judges that the set operation condition is inhibited in the set operation mode. If an operation condition is inhibited in a particular operation mode it is possible to set an irregular mode setting and disable the inhibition of the apparatus. Controls are provided to permit transmission of an electric signal from a reading station to an external unit while, at the same time, inhibiting the operation of an image fixing device while the image fixing device is warmed up.
