IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR PREVENTING SETTING ERROR ON SHEET SIZE

摘要

Generally, in accordance with one embodiment, an image forming apparatus includes a stacking section, a sensor, a printing unit, a display and a controller. The stacking section is configured to stack a sheet. The sensor is configured to detect the size of the sheet set on the stacking section. The printing unit is configured to form an image on the sheet. The display is configured to display the image. The controller is configured not to display a sheet size except the sheet size detected based on an output signal from the sensor on a setting screen for the sheet size of an image forming object in a detectable status.

1. An image forming apparatus, comprising:
a stacking section configured to stack a sheet; a sensor configured to detect only a length in a direction which is orthogonal to a paper feed direction for the sheet which is set on the stacking section; a printing unit configured to form an image on the sheet; a display configured to display the image; and a controller configured to display a setting screen for the sheet size and display buttons for multiple detected sheet sizes in a selectable status and display buttons for other detectable sheet sizes together with the buttons for the multiple detected sheet sizes on the setting screen in a non-selectable gray out status when a plurality of the sheet sizes are detected and the controller accepts a call of the setting screen, the controller configured to set the sheet size to be a maximal size when determining the sheet sizes to be multiple and the controller does not accept the call of the setting screen.
