Image forming apparatus, control method of image forming apparatus, and storage medium

摘要

An image forming apparatus and method for reading an image of a document and preventing an image from being printed on the document if a sheet type of the document is not suitable for printing. The method includes reading an image of a conveyed document, detecting a sheet type of the conveyed document, and controlling, in a case where the detected sheet type is the predetermined sheet type, an image to be printed on the conveyed document, and controlling, in a case where the detected sheet type is not a predetermined sheet type, an image not to be printed on the conveyed document.

1. An image forming apparatus having a first sheet holding unit and a second sheet holding unit, the image forming apparatus comprising:
a reading unit configured to read a first image on a sheet fed from the second sheet holding unit, and generate image data corresponding to the first image; storing unit configured to store the image data generated by the reading unit in a memory; a detecting unit configured to detect a sheet type of sheet fed from the second sheet holding unit; a printing unit configured to print a second image onto a sheet fed from the first sheet holding unit or a sheet fed from the second sheet holding unit; and a control unit configured to, when the printing unit is to print the second image onto a sheet fed from the second sheet holding unit, allow the printing unit to print the second image onto a sheet fed from the second sheet holding unit in a case where the sheet type detected by the detecting unit is a first sheet type, and restrict the printing unit from printing the second image onto a sheet fed from the second sheet holding unit in a case where the sheet type detected by the detecting unit is a second sheet type, wherein, when the printing unit is to print the second image onto a sheet fed from the first sheet holding unit, a sheet type of a sheet fed from the first sheet holding unit is not detected by the detecting unit before the printing unit prints the second image thereon.
