Abstract
An image forming system comprises first and second sheet feeding trays and first and second inserter trays. If sheets that are loaded in the first inserter tray run out during execution of a job in which a sheet feeding source of an insertion sheet is set to the first inserter tray, the system switches from the first inserter tray to the second inserter tray and continues execution of the job. If sheets that are loaded in the second sheet feeding tray run out during execution of a job in which a sheet feeding source is set to the second sheet feeding tray, the system temporarily stops execution of the job without switching from the second sheet feeding tray to another tray.
