More Information
Summary:An image formation apparatus includes: media containers each of which can contain therein media, an image formation unit to form an image on one or more media based on image data; a media feed unit to feed the media from one of the media containers to the image formation unit; a computation unit configured to calculate a remaining time to complete the image-forming on the media of an instructed quantity, based on a feed time per medium and a print time per medium; and an image formation condition change detector configured to detect a change of image formation conditions. When the change of the image formation conditions is detected, the computation unit calculates the remaining time, based on the feed time per medium and the print time per medium after the change of the image formation conditions.
