Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes: an image forming unit configured to form an image on each of media; a plurality of sheet feeding cassettes each configured to store the media; a media sensor which is provided on a conveyance path through which the media are fed from any of the plurality of sheet feeding cassettes to the image forming unit, and is configured to detect a type of the conveyed media; a memory configured to store, for each sheet feeding cassette, the type of media stored in each of the plurality of sheet feeding cassettes; and a controller configured to output, to a display, a selection screen for selecting a sheet feeding cassette in which media to be used in calibration of adjusting a density of the image to be formed by the image forming unit are stored.
Claims7
An image forming apparatus comprising:
- a sheet feeding unit configured to store media;
- an image forming unit configured to form an image on media;
- a media sensor which is provided on a conveyance path through which the media are fed from the sheet feeding unit to the image forming unit, the media sensor being configured to detect a type of the media;
- and
- an input unit configured to select media used for calibration of the image forming unit,
- wherein, before the type of the media is detected by the media sensor, the media stored in the sheet feeding unit are not selectable by the input unit, and
- wherein, after the type of the media is detected by the media sensor, the media stored in the sheet feeding unit are selectable by the input unit.
