Abstract
An image forming apparatus has a judgment portion, a job control portion, and an operation portion. When print data is received by a reception portion, the judgment portion checks whether or not a detection portion is outputting a detection signal. When the detection portion is found to be outputting the detection signal, the job control portion inhibits a printing portion from executing the print job for the print data received by the reception portion and instead stores the print data in a storage portion. The operation portion accepts an instruction to print for an image represented by the print data stored in the storage portion. When the instruction is entered on the operation portion, the job control portion makes the printing portion execute a print job for the print data stored in the storage portion.
