| 摘要 | An image forming apparatus includes a medium container that contains media, a sheet feeding controller that feeds the media one sheet by one sheet, which is contained in the medium container, a detection part that detects a remaining amount of the media contained in the medium container, and a searching part that searches for another medium container that contains media that is the same as the media contained in the medium container. The sheet feeding controller, when the detection part detects that the remaining amount of the media contained in the medium container has reached a predetermined amount, feeds one of the media, which is contained in the another medium container that is found by the searching part, to a predetermined position. | ||

| 主权项 | 1. An image forming apparatus comprising: a medium container that contains media; a sheet feeding controller that feeds the media one sheet by one sheet, which is contained in the medium container; a detection part that detects a remaining amount of the media contained in the medium container; a searching part that searches for another medium container that contains media that is the same kind as the media contained in the medium container, wherein the sheet feeding controller, when the detection part detects that the remaining amount of the media contained in the medium container has reached a predetermined amount, feeds one of the media, which is contained in the another medium container that is found by the searching part, to a predetermined position, wherein the predetermined amount of the media is greater than zero, and the media that have been carried to the predetermined position is supplied to an image forming part when the remaining amount of the media reaches zero. | ||
