Abstract
A multi-function printer (MFP) and an alarm method thereof are provided. The provided method includes determining whether the MFP has accomplished printing a document; and when the MFP has accomplished printing the document, determining whether to produce an alarm message to an electronic device corresponding to the document in response to a comparison result between an input speech and a database. Thus, in response to the generation of the alarm message, not only to warn a user who forgot to take away the printed document, but also further to indicate the location of the printed document.
