Abstract
An image forming apparatus is equipped with a plurality of sheet feeders. A change request for changing settings information of a designated one of the plurality of sheet feeders is received. There is stored change permission/inhibition information in which a condition for permitting a change of the settings information is set on an sheet feeder-by-sheet feeder basis. Settings information of a sheet feeder designated by the change request is changed based on the change permission/inhibition information. In a case where a request source of the change request satisfies the condition for permitting a change of settings information, settings information of the designated sheet feeder is changed, whereas in a case where a request source of the change request does not satisfy the condition for permitting a change of settings information, settings information of the designated sheet feeder is not changed.
