Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes a plurality of sheet placement portions, a count processing portion, and a limitation processing portion. The count processing portion counts a cumulative number of output prints that are output by executions of print jobs during a predetermined unit time period. When a sum of a number of prints to be output by a processing-target print job and the cumulative number of output prints exceeds a predetermined upper-limit number of sheets, the limitation processing portion limits an execution of the processing-target print job when a sheet supply source of the processing-target print job is not a specific sheet placement portion among the plurality of sheet placement portions, and permits the execution of the processing-target print job when the sheet supply source is the specific sheet placement portion.
