This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18509174 titled 'IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, METHOD OF CONTROLLING IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, AND STORAGE MEDIUM
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an image forming apparatus that manages the display of job information for stored print jobs and notifies the user if there are any print jobs with undisplayed job information.
- The image forming apparatus determines whether job information is displayed for each stored print job.

Problems Solved
1. Users may forget about print jobs that have been stored but not yet printed. 2. Lack of visibility on the status of print jobs can lead to delays and inefficiencies in printing tasks.
Benefits
1. Improved user awareness of pending print jobs. 2. Enhanced efficiency in managing print tasks. 3. Reduction in delays and errors in printing operations.
