Image forming apparatus, control method, and control program

An image forming apparatus comprising:

• an execution unit configured to execute a printing job using a tab sheet to be supplied from a first sheet supply unit and a sheet other than a tab sheet to be supplied from a second sheet supply unit;
• a reception unit configured to receive an instruction to confirm printed material of the printing job;
• and
• a control unit configured to control the execution unit to stop a printing operation of the printing job that the execution unit is executing and print, for confirmation, at least one page included in the printing job, based on the reception unit receiving the instruction,
• wherein the control unit further controls the execution unit to restart the stopped printing job after the printing for the confirmation is ended, and
• wherein the control unit controls the execution unit to execute the printing for the confirmation by not using a tab sheet to be supplied from the first sheet supply unit and by using a sheet other than a tab sheet to be supplied from the second sheet supply unit.

A method for controlling an image forming apparatus, the method comprising:

• executing a printing job using a tab sheet to be supplied from a first sheet supply unit and a sheet other than a tab sheet to be supplied from a second sheet supply unit;
• receiving an instruction to confirm printed material of the printing job;
• and
• controlling the executing to stop an executing printing operation of the printing job and print, for confirmation, at least one page included in the printing job, based on receiving the instruction,
• wherein controlling includes controlling the executing to restart the stopped printing job after the printing for the confirmation is ended, and
• wherein controlling includes controlling executing the printing for the confirmation by not using a tab sheet to be supplied from the first sheet supply unit and by using a sheet other than a tab sheet to be supplied from the second sheet supply unit.

A non-transitory storage medium storing a program to cause an image forming apparatus to perform a method, the method comprising:

• executing a printing job using a tab sheet to be supplied from a first sheet supply unit and a sheet other than a tab sheet to be supplied from a second sheet supply unit;
• receiving an instruction to confirm printed material of the printing job;
• and
• controlling the executing to stop an executing printing operation of the printing job and print, for confirmation, at least one page included in the printing job, based on receiving the instruction,
• wherein controlling includes controlling the executing to restart the stopped printing job after the printing for the confirmation is ended, and
• wherein controlling includes controlling executing the printing for the confirmation by not using a tab sheet to be supplied from the first sheet supply unit and by using a sheet other than a tab sheet to be supplied from the second sheet supply unit.
