Abstract
An image forming apparatus of embodiments includes an accommodation unit and a notification unit. The accommodation unit accommodates both of a paper bundle and a packaging member therein in a state in which at least one of the paper bundle and the packaging member used to package the paper bundle satisfies predetermined conditions. The notification unit performs a notification of guidance on the predetermined conditions.
Claims10
An image forming apparatus comprising:
- an accommodation unit configured to accommodate both of a paper bundle and a packaging member therein in a state in which at least one of the paper bundle and the packaging member used to package the paper bundle satisfies predetermined conditions;
- a notification unit configured to perform a notification of guidance on the predetermined conditions;
- a first sensor configured to detect that the paper bundle is accommodated in the accommodation unit;
- a roller configured to send a paper sheet included in the paper bundle;
- a second sensor configured to detect a behavior of the paper sheet sent by the roller;
- and
- a control unit configured to control the notification unit to perform a notification of the guidance when a behavior of the paper sheet is not detected by the second sensor if the first sensor detects that the paper bundle is accommodated in the accommodation unit, and the roller is driven;
- and
- a restriction member configured to restrict movement of a leading end of the paper sheet,
- wherein, if the roller is driven in a state in which movement of the leading end of the paper sheet is restricted by the restriction member, the control unit controls the notification unit to perform a notification of the guidance when bending of the paper sheet is not detected by the second sensor.
