Image forming device that sets initial value of printer operation mode according to management mode

Abstract

An image forming device has a printer capable of selectively setting a first operation mode to print an image on a medium and a second operation mode to print an image on the medium, the first operation mode being different from the second operation mode, and a display unit which displays an operation screen, and sets an initial value of the operation mode of the printer to the second operation mode, in a case where a management mode is designated to manage only the number of pages printed in the first operation mode by the printer for each division to which each user belongs. The image forming device displays in the display unit that the printer is brought into the second operation mode based on the initial value of the operation mode of the printer in an initial state.
