Abstract
An image formation control device including an information holding unit, an output control unit, an information change unit, and a change control unit. The information holding unit holds the information of an image forming medium stored in a paper feed tray, while the output control unit controls the output of a printer by referring to the information of the image forming medium. The information change unit changes the information of the image forming medium in accordance with an instruction from an operator. Further, the change control unit, when executing the change of the image forming medium information, judges whether the information of the image forming medium to be changed is detectable or not. If it is found detectable, then the change control unit refuses the present change but, if not detectable, then it allows the present change.
