Abstract:
An image forming apparatus capable of performing maintenance operations using a usage pattern and a method for the same. The method for performing a maintenance operation of cleaning a printing unit of the image forming apparatus comprises the steps of recording printing work information when a command for the maintenance operation is entered as usage pattern information, counting and recording the printing work information of printing data upon input of a printing command, and comparing the usage pattern information with the counted printing work information. When they correspond to each other, the maintenance operation is performed. Accordingly, maintenance operations can be conveniently performed according to a pattern of maintenance operation commands by the user.
