An adjustment time reduction mode of reducing adjustment operation time is
provided such that a user can set the adjustment time reduction mode in
which a user arbitrarily reduces the adjustment operation time, depending
on the user's situation. An apparatus performing adjustment operation at
a predetermined timing, monitors a timing at which the adjustment
operation is to be performed and visually notifies a user of the timing
at which the adjustment operation is to be performed before execution of
a job requested by the user. When the adjustment time reduction mode is
set, the apparatus reduces a time for the adjustment operation during
execution of the job requested by the user, and the apparatus is caused
to operate in the adjustment time reduction mode until the job is
completed.
