Abstract
A digital image forming apparatus wherein at least when an occurrence of trouble that required automatic switching of the power witch to the OFF position during operation of the image output operation when it is detected by a trouble detector, the image data inputted for an image output operation is stored in an internal memory which ensures the memory content even with the power switch switched to the OFF position. After the trouble is settled, the image output operation is continued with respect to the image data stored in the internal memory by the image output unit. As a result, an idle operation for reinputting the image data to be outputted through visualization by, for example, a reading operation of the document image can be eliminated.
