Image forming apparatus, sheet feed control method, and storage medium

摘要

An image forming apparatus capable of printing a non-standard size image on a sheet of a size as desired by the user as possible, and preventing stoppage of printing the image even when there is no sheet of the size desired by the user in a sheet feeder. When image data is for a non-standard size, if there is a sheet feeder accommodating recording sheets of which vertical and lateral lengths corresponding to vertical and lateral lengths represented by the image data are designated, a control unit feeds the sheets from the sheet feeding cassette. If there is no such a sheet feeder, the control unit feeds recording sheets of a free size from a manual feed tray accommodating the recording sheets of the free size.

1. An image forming apparatus comprising:
a plurality of sheet holding units configured to hold a recording sheet having a standard size or a non-standard size; a first setting unit configured to set a first type of non-standard size of a recording sheet to a first sheet holding unit, among the plurality of sheet holding units, wherein vertical and lateral lengths of the first type of non-standard size are respectively designated by a user; a second setting unit configured to set a second type of non-standard size of a recording sheet to a second sheet holding unit, among the plurality of sheet holding units, wherein neither a vertical length nor a lateral length of the second type of non-standard size is designated by the user; and a selecting unit configured to, when receiving a print job designating a non-standard size as a size of a recording sheet where an image is to be printed, select the first sheet holding unit in a case where the first type of non-standard size set to the first sheet holding unit matches vertical and lateral lengths designated by the print job, while selecting the second sheet holding unit in a case where the first type of non-standard size set to the first sheet holding unit does not match the vertical and lateral lengths designated by the print job; and a printing unit configured to execute the print job using a recording sheet fed from the selected sheet holding unit by said selecting unit.
