IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS

摘要

According to embodiments, an image forming apparatus has a cassette section for holding sheets, a conveying section for conveying the sheet, an image forming section that forms the image on the sheet conveyed by the conveying section, a determining section that determines the type of the sheet fed from the cassette, and a display section that displays different messages corresponding to the type of the sheet if a jam of the sheet has occurred while the sheet is conveyed in the conveying section. The source of a sheet for printing thereon may be changed if a threshold number of paper jams occur using paper fed from a particular cassette.
