Abstract:
A multi function peripheral (MFP) is provided with a scanner and a printer for operating a copy function, and a macro control unit and macro function unit for operating a macro function in order to reliably operating the macro function even for an event generated asynchronously with a user operation. The macro control unit manages pairs of user operations and events generated by the user operations. The macro function executes a record process of generating a macro file constituted of a plurality of scripts from user operations and a reproduce process of reproducing the user processes. A script corresponding to an event of waiting for execution completion of a copy job is recorded in the macro file at a row next to the row at which a copy start script is written.
