Abstract
Provided is an image forming apparatus performing automatic recovery from a paper non-feeding jam. It includes plural paper feeding cassettes, a sensing sensor, paper non-feeding jam determining part, and system control part. Plural paper feeding cassettes are detachably loaded inside apparatus main body. Sensing sensor is disposed in a carrying passage, and senses a paper sheet fed from paper feeding cassette. Paper non-feeding jam determining part determines whether or not a paper non-feeding jam has occurred in paper feeding cassette, on apparatus operation state and result of sensing by sensing sensor, and if a paper non-feeding jam has occurred, releases error state for paper non-feeding jam after a prescribed time period has elapsed, notifying that paper feeding is to be changed over. System control part controls changeover of paper feeding to that from another paper feeding cassette, on notification from paper non-feeding jam determining part.
