To provide an image forming device enabling reduction of waiting time of a user who has performed instruction for execution of a job.SOLUTION: An image forming device 100 performs a printing process in accordance with a request for a printing/delivering job from a PC 200 to thereby generate a printed matter, and delivers the printed matter to an automatic printed matter delivering device. When receiving an instruction to executed a predetermined job which cannot be processed concurrently with the printing/delivering job from an operation panel 102, in a state where the printing/delivering job is registered in a job queue, the image forming device 100 performs a predetermined job-priority control by which the predetermined job is executed on a priority basis.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1 【課題】操作部からジョブの実行指示を行ったユーザーの待ち時間を減らすことができる画像形成装置を提供する。【解決手段】画像形成装置１００は、ＰＣ２００から印刷配送ジョブの依頼を受けたことに従って印刷処理を行って印刷物を生成し、自動印刷物配送装置に当該印刷物を受け渡す。画像形成装置１００は、ジョブキューに印刷配送ジョブが登録された状態で、操作パネル１０２で印刷配送ジョブと並列処理不可能な所定のジョブの実行指示を受け付けた場合、所定のジョブを優先的に実行させる所定のジョブ優先制御を行う。【選択図】図１
