Image forming apparatus, control method of the image forming apparatus, and non-transitory computer-readable storage medium with display of guidance on placing direction of sheet having projected portion

A control method of an image forming apparatus including (1) a stacking portion on which a sheet is stacked, (2) a feeding path along which the sheet stacked on the stacking portion is fed, (3) an image forming unit configured to form the toner image on an image bearing member, and (4) a transfer unit configured to transfer the toner image from the image bearing member onto the sheet fed to the feeding path, the control method comprising:

• forming a toner image on a perforated sheet subjected to perforation processing, wherein the perforated sheet includes a projected portion generated at a periphery of a hole formed by the perforation processing;
• displaying guidance on a placing direction of the perforated sheet depending on a surface where the projected portion of the perforated sheet to be placed on the stacking portion is generated;
• and
• displaying a selection screen for selecting a kind of the sheet, to be placed on the stacking portion, from a plurality of kinds of sheets,
• wherein the plurality of kinds of sheets include (1) the perforated sheet subjected to the perforation processing and (2) another sheet which is not subjected to the perforation processing.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program for causing a computer to execute a method of controlling an image forming apparatus including (1) a stacking portion on which a sheet is stacked, (2) a feeding path along which the sheet stacked on the stacking portion is fed, (3) an image forming unit configured to form the toner image on an image bearing member, and (4) a transfer unit configured to transfer the toner image from the image bearing member onto the sheet fed to the feeding path, the method comprising:

• forming a toner image on a perforated sheet subjected to perforation processing, wherein the perforated sheet includes a projected portion generated at a periphery of a hole formed by the perforation processing;
• and
• displaying guidance on a placing direction of the perforated sheet depending on a surface where the projected portion of the perforated sheet to be placed on the stacking portion is generated,
• wherein the stacking portion includes a cassette and a manual feeding tray, and
• wherein the guidance shows that the perforated sheet is placed on the cassette so that the surface of the perforated sheet where the projected portion is generated is directed toward a first side, and shows that the perforated sheet is placed on the manual feeding tray so that the surface of the perforated sheet where the projected portion is generated is directed toward a second side opposite from the first side.
