Image forming apparatus and method for controlling image forming apparatus

An image forming apparatus, comprising:

• a document conveyance portion that conveys a placed document toward a read-in position;
• an image reading portion that performs, when a document is placed in the document conveyance portion, feed reading-in in which the document as conveyed by the document conveyance portion is read, while performing, when no document is placed in the document conveyance portion, table reading-in in which a document placed on a table is read, and generates image data of the document;
• a job execution portion that, based on the image data obtained through the reading-in of the document by the image reading portion, executes a job;
• an operation panel that accepts setting of a destination in a case of performing a transmission job;
• and
• a control portion that controls the image reading portion and the job execution portion so that, in a continuous read-in mode, the image reading portion continuously performs reading-in of a document as placed until an input to end reading-in is inputted to the operation panel, and after the input to end reading-in has been inputted to the operation panel, based on image data obtained through the reading-in of the document, the job execution portion performs a job, and so that when an automatic continuous read-in condition is satisfied, the image reading portion and the job execution portion automatically operate in the continuous read-in mode,
• wherein
• the automatic continuous read-in condition is that the table reading-in has been started in a state where a destination corresponding to a particular transmission method that is a predetermined transmission method is set.
