Abstract
An image forming apparatus and a method for controlling the same are disclosed. The image forming apparatus supports the printing management function, such that it can continue or cancel the printing operation when a printing-operation change factor occurs during the printing operation established by the user. In the case of using the printing management function, the user can easily stop the printing operation when the erroneous data occurs or he or she desires to cancel the remaining printing operations during the printing operation, such that an amount of resources required for the printing operation can be minimized, resulting in the implementation of increased operation efficiency. The method for controlling the image forming apparatus includes: determining whether the number of printed papers is equal to a predetermined printing-check paper number during a printing operation; and if the number of printed papers is equal to the predetermined printing-check paper number, comparing printing information for each page of printed data with the other printing information for each actually-applied page, and determining the presence or absence of a printing error.
