Image forming apparatus capable of accepting mulitple types of print jobs and method

A method for an image forming apparatus capable of accepting a plurality of types of print jobs, the method comprising:

• setting, for each type of the print job, whether to permit use of paper in a predetermined paper feed stage,
• controlling, in a case where a print job that uses the paper in the predetermined paper feed stage is received, based on the type of the received print job and the setting, whether to execute the print job that uses the paper in the predetermined paper feed stage,
• holding the received print job as a stored print job,
• displaying a list of the held stored print jobs on a display unit, and
• executing print processing based on the stored print job selected from the list,
• wherein in a case where a condition is satisfied, selection of a plurality of stored print jobs from the list is disabled, and
• wherein the condition is that the plurality of stored print jobs include a print job for which use of resources is restricted and a print job for which use of resources is unrestricted.

An image forming apparatus capable of accepting print jobs from a plurality of kinds of print applications, comprising:

• a paper feed stage;
• one or more memories that store instructions;
• and
• one or more processors configured to execute the instructions stored in the one or more memories to
• set, for each print application, whether to permit the print application to use paper in a predetermined paper feed stage,
• control, based on the setting, to execute a print job, that uses the paper in the predetermined paper feed stage, from a first print application permitted to use the paper in the predetermined paper feed stage,
• hold a received print job as a stored print job,
• display a list of the held stored print jobs on a display unit, and
• execute print processing based on the stored print job selected from the list,
• wherein in a case where a condition is satisfied, selection of a plurality of stored print jobs from the list is disabled, and
• wherein the condition is that the plurality of stored print jobs include a print job for which use of resources is restricted and a print job for which use of resources is unrestricted, and
• control not to execute a print job, that uses the paper in the predetermined paper feed stage, from a second print application not permitted to use the paper in the predetermined paper feed stage.
