Abstract:
1. An image forming apparatus comprising: an input unit; a display unit; an image forming unit; a user interface unit configured to cause information to be stored relating to printing a first page of a print job on a sheet placed on a manual feed tray; and a print control unit, wherein if printing on a long nonstandard-size sheet is selected through the input unit, the print control unit is configured to cause the display unit to display an indication that prompts a user to identify a sheet size of the sheet and to request the image forming unit to start printing the sheet on the manual feed tray in response to an instruction to start printing from the input unit, and if the information relating to execution of printing the first page is stored in the storage unit, the print control unit is configured to skip the step of displaying the indication that prompts the user to identify the sheet size on the display unit and to request the image forming unit to start the printing on the sheet placed on the manual feed tray, wherein the input unit is used in specifying the sheet size and a sheet type of the sheet therethrough, the image forming apparatus further comprising: a fixing device; and a fixing-device temperature setting unit configured to set a temperature for the fixing device based on the sheet size and the sheet type specified through the input unit, wherein the fixing-device temperature setting unit is configured not to change the set temperature while the print job is performed, and wherein the user interface unit is configured to cause the image forming unit to determine that the print job for the sheet placed on the manual feed tray is completed, if the setting of the sheet size is changed through the input unit after the printing on the long nonstandard-size sheet is selected.
