Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes a sheet storage unit including a sheet tray on which one or more sheets are to be stacked, a sensor configured to detect that the sheet storage unit is being operated, and a processor configured to execute a predetermined process after the sensor detects that the sheet storage unit has been operated, and a predetermined condition relating to an occurrence of the sheet conveyance error is satisfied.
Claims16
An image forming apparatus comprising:
- a sheet storage unit including a sheet tray on which one or more sheets are to be stacked;
- a sensor configured to detect that the sheet storage unit is being operated;
- and
- a processor configured to execute a predetermined process after a predetermined condition relating to an occurrence of a sheet conveyance error is satisfied, wherein
- the predetermined condition is satisfied when an occurrence frequency of the sheet conveyance error during a time period after the detection by the sensor differs from an occurrence frequency of the sheet conveyance error during a time period that ended with the detection by the sensor, by more than a threshold.
