Abstract: In a case where a conveyed document is a first page, printing is started before a result of determination as to whether the document is a blank page is output, whereby a time until a first sheet is output can be shortened.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus that uses set sheet information and is capable of reducing time and effort in replenishing sheets. At least one sheet feed cassette stores sheets. Sheet information of the sheet feed cassette is set according to specifications of the stored sheets using a setting screen displayed on a console panel. Print processing is performed using sheets corresponding to information on sheets included in a print job. It is determined whether or not the information on sheets corresponds to the sheet information of the sheet feed cassette. A sensor detects operations of opening and closing the sheet feed cassette. Even when an operation of opening the cassette or removal of the same has been detected, if the sheet information of the cassette corresponds to the information on sheets, the console panel does not display the setting screen.

Abstract: A sheet processing apparatus includes a stapler that executes a stapling process on sheets set in a sheet insertion opening by a user, and a sheet detecting sensor that detects the sheets set in the sheet insertion opening. The sheet processing apparatus displays a setting screen for setting a time until the staple process is executed, and causes the stapler to execute the stapling process according to elapse of the set time after the sheet detecting sensor detects the sheets.

Abstract: There is provided a technique that enables a user to use a post-processing apparatus without giving a mode changing instruction after execution of a print job including post-processing by the post-processing apparatus has ended in a printing apparatus. Specifically, during execution of a print job in which the execution of post-processing on a sheet is set, the printing apparatus determines whether or not the post-processing apparatus has discharged a sheet on which printing processing has been performed, without executing the post-processing. If it is determined that the post-processing apparatus has discharged the sheet on which printing processing has been performed, without executing the post-processing, the printing apparatus changes the post-processing apparatus to a manual stapling (MS) mode.
