Image forming apparatus that prints an image on a recording medium set for manual feed

摘要

An image forming apparatus (20) includes: a manual feed detecting unit (26) that detects if a recording medium (20a) is set in a manual medium feeding unit (24); a print data receiving unit (56) that receives print data; a medium orientation setting unit (55) that receives an instruction for an orientation of the recording medium (20a) to be fed from the manual medium feeding unit (24), and sets the orientation; a printing control unit (52) that controls the printing device (27) to print an image based on the print data and executes a manual feed forcing operation if the manual feed detecting unit (26) has detected the recording medium (20a); and an image generating unit (51) that generates the image based on the print data and determines an orientation of the image based on the orientation of the recording medium (20a).
