Abstract
The present invention provides an image forming apparatus and its control method that can suitably control processing of originals in a number larger than the maximum placeable number, while suppressing an increase in the cost and complexity of the control. To accomplish this, the image forming apparatus includes an ADF that conveys a plurality of originals sheet by sheet, and stops reading of the originals when the number of originals that have been conveyed reaches a predetermined number. Moreover, when the number of originals that have been conveyed reaches a predetermined number, in a case where a currently performed job is a first type of job, the image forming apparatus performs processing of read originals, and, in a case where a currently performed job is a second type of job, the image forming apparatus waits without performing processing of read originals.
