Abstract:
An image forming apparatus forms an image designated by a job on a sheet fed from one of a plurality of paper feed sources. A detection unit detects paper types of sheets respectively fed from the plurality of paper feed sources, and is provided on a conveyance path. A memory device stores a set of instructions, and at least one processor executes the instructions to function as a first holding unit to hold paper sizes and paper types set by a user in one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of paper feed sources, a second holding unit to hold the paper types detected by the detection unit in one-to-one correspondence with the plurality of paper feed sources, and a third holding unit to hold a paper size designated by the job and a paper type designated by the job or a condition related to setting of a paper type.

Claim (Index 16):
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored therein a program for causing a computer to execute a method of controlling an image forming apparatus having a plurality of paper feed sources, each of the plurality of paper feed sources storing a paper, an image forming unit that forms an image on a paper fed from any one of the plurality of paper feed sources, and a detector that detects a paper type of a paper fed from the one of the plurality of paper feed sources, the method comprising the steps of:\n receiving, from an external apparatus, a print job that designates a paper size; storing information for specifying (i) a paper feed source, of the plurality of paper feed sources, that stores the paper having the paper size designated by a first print job, as the print job received in the receiving step, and (ii) a paper type, detected by the detector, of a paper fed from the specified paper feed source in association with each other; specifying a paper type corresponding to a paper feed source, of the plurality of paper feed sources, that stores the paper having the paper size designated by a second print job, as the print job received in the receiving step, among paper types stored in the storing step, based on information for specifying a paper feed source, of the plurality of paper feed sources, that stores the paper having the paper size designated by the second print job; and causing the image forming unit to execute the second print job based on the paper type specified in the specifying step.
