摘要

An image forming apparatus includes a sheet accommodating portion that is attachable to and removable from an apparatus body and that is capable of accommodating a sheet therein; a detecting part that detects the presence/absence of a sheet in the sheet accommodating portion; a fixing part that fixes the status of detection by the detecting part to a sheet absent state when the sheet accommodating portion is not attached to the apparatus body; an informing part that informs a user of the status of the apparatus; and a control part that causes the informing part to inform the user of the possibility of a sheet left in the apparatus when the status of detection by the detecting part changes from a sheet present state to the sheet absent state during standby when printing is not performed.
