A method and apparatus to control a set paper in an image forming device. When the user sets a type of paper unsupported by a cassette, the method and apparatus of the present invention generates a warning message that the setting is incorrect, and resets the type of paper in response to a user selection or converts the set type of paper into a different type of paper which has printing conditions similar to those of the set type of paper and is supportable by the cassette in order to prevent degradation of image quality in the unsupportable type of paper. Therefore, although a paper such as an envelope or a card requiring a high fixing temperature may be set, when a thin paper is inserted into the cassette to be printed, a printer engine can be protected from an unsuitably high temperature.
