Abstract
An image forming apparatus according to the present invention performs a process of printing on the printing paper in such a manner that, if a plurality of images are to be printed on one sheet of printing paper and there is improper image data among the image data of the plurality of images, a region in which an image corresponding to the improper image data is to be printed is left blank, and if the image data of all of the plurality of images is improper, the image forming apparatus does not perform the process of printing on the printing paper.
