Provided are an image forming apparatus including multiple feed trays and a non-transitory recording medium. One or more hardware processors of the image forming apparatus determine, for each print product to be printed, whether the amount of sheets contained at the beginning of printing the each print product in a feed tray being used for printing, is not less than the necessary amount of sheets for printing the each print product, and cause a print engine to print the print products. In printing the print products, the one or more hardware processors, when determining that the amount of sheets in the feed tray being used for printing, determined for a next print product, which is to be printed next to a print product currently being printed, is less than the necessary amount of sheets for the next print product, cause the print engine to suspend printing the next print product.

Image forming apparatus and non-transitory recording medium storing print control program

An image processing apparatus () according to the present invention includes a layer combining unit () that generates a print image based on print data including a plurality of layers, a determining unit () that determines whether objects included in different layers overlap each other in a single pixel constituting the print image, and a selecting unit () that selects image processing to be performed with respect to the single pixel according to a combination of attribute information for each of the layers assigned to the single pixel, when the objects overlap each other in the corresponding single pixel.
