IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS

摘要

An image forming apparatus detects that the paper sheet cassette has been drawn out and that the paper sheet cassette has been housed, and upon detecting either that the paper sheet cassette has been drawn out or that the paper sheet cassette has been housed, detects that a reference operation has been performed. When the reference operation has been performed in a time period other than while a printing job is being executed, the control portion performs control so that the screen related to paper sheet setting is displayed, and when the reference operation has been performed while the printing job is being executed, the control portion performs control so that the screen related to paper sheet setting is not displayed.

主权项

1. An image forming apparatus, comprising:
a control portion that is formed of a CPU; a printing portion that prints an image on a paper sheet; a paper sheet cassette that is housed in the image forming apparatus and, in a case of loading a paper sheet therein, is drawn out from the image forming apparatus; a cassette sensor that has an output varying depending on whether or not the paper sheet cassette has been drawn out from the image forming apparatus; and an operation display portion that displays a screen related to paper sheet setting with respect to the paper sheet cassette and accepts an operation, wherein based on an output of the cassette sensor, the control portion detects that the paper sheet cassette has been drawn out from the image forming apparatus and that the paper sheet cassette has been housed in the image forming apparatus, and upon detecting either that the paper sheet cassette has been drawn out from the image forming apparatus or that the paper sheet cassette has been housed in the image forming apparatus, detects that a reference operation for judging whether or not to display the screen related to paper sheet setting has been performed, and when the reference operation has been performed in a time period other than while a printing job involving printing by the printing portion is being executed, the control portion controls the operation display portion to display the screen related to paper sheet setting, and when the reference operation has been performed while the printing job is being executed, the control portion controls the operation display portion not to display the screen related to paper sheet setting.
