Abstract:
An image forming apparatus includes a dew condensation removal unit configured to execute dew condensation removal processing if it is determined that dew condensation may have occurred in the image forming apparatus, a reception unit configured to receive a print job for instructing execution of print processing, a restriction unit configured to restrict the execution of the print processing during execution of the dew condensation removal processing, a display control unit configured to control a display unit to display a selection screen for selecting whether to execute or cancel the print processing based on the print job if the print job is received during the execution of the dew condensation removal processing, and a print control unit configured to control the print processing to be executed after completion of the dew condensation removal processing if the execution of the print processing is selected.

Claim (Index 6):
A control method for an image forming apparatus, the control method comprising:\n executing dew condensation removal processing in a case where it is determined that dew condensation may have occurred in the image forming apparatus; receiving a print job for instructing execution of print processing; performing processing for restricting the execution of the print processing during the execution of the dew condensation removal processing; performing display control for controlling a display unit to display a selection screen for selecting whether to execute or cancel the print processing based on the print job in a case where the print job is received during the execution of the dew condensation removal processing; and performing print control for controlling the print processing to be executed after completion of the dew condensation removal processing in a case where the execution of the print processing is selected, and for controlling the print job to be cancelled in a case where the cancellation of the execution of the print processing is selected.
