Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes a plurality of sheet feed devices, an image forming device, and a control device functioning as a controller. The image forming device performs image formation based on a print job or adjustment processing. In executing the adjustment processing, the controller selects, from among the plurality of sheet feed devices, the sheet feed device for adjustment processing about which attribute information meeting a necessary condition for executing the adjustment processing is previously set, allows the selected sheet feed device for adjustment processing to feed the recording paper sheet, and allows the image forming device to perform the adjustment processing. When, in executing the adjustment processing, the sheet feed device for adjustment processing is unable to feed the recording paper sheet, the controller allows a sheet feed device predetermined as an alternative sheet feed device for adjustment processing to feed the recording paper sheet.
