Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes a recording material loading unit, a transport unit, a detector, and a controller. A recording material is loaded in the recording material loading unit. The transport unit transports the recording material from the recording material loading unit to an image forming unit that forms an image on the recording material. The detector detects a transport state of the transported recording material on a way from the recording material loading unit to the image forming unit. The controller performs control to change a position in which a user is prompted to check the transport state of the recording material and display a countermeasure method, based on a determination criterion that is determined according to (i) the transport state of the recording material detected by the detector and (ii) recording material information on the recording material.
