Claims7
An image forming apparatus, which forms an image on a sheet conveyed from a sheet holding unit, comprising:
- a storing unit configured to store first information indicating a depository of the sheet to be supplied to a first sheet holding unit, and store second information indicating a depository of the sheet to be supplied to a second sheet holding unit different from the first sheet holding unit;
- and
- a notification unit configured to perform a notification based on the first information stored in the storing unit in a case where an amount of sheets stored in the first sheet holding unit becomes a predetermined amount, and perform a notification based on the second information stored in the storing unit in a case where an amount of sheets stored in the second sheet holding unit becomes the predetermined amount,
- wherein at least one of the units is implemented by a CPU executing computer-executable code stored in a non-transitory computer-readable memory.
A control method for an image forming apparatus which forms an image on a sheet conveyed from a sheet holding unit, the control method comprising:
- storing first information indicating a depository of the sheet to be supplied to a first sheet holding unit;
- storing second information indicating a depository of the sheet to be supplied to a second sheet holding unit different from the first sheet holding unit;
- performing a notification based on the stored first information in a case where an amount of sheets stored in the first sheet holding unit becomes a predetermined amount;
- and
- performing a notification based on the stored second information in a case where an amount of sheets stored in the second sheet holding unit becomes the predetermined amount.
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program that when executed causes a computer to perform a control method for an image forming apparatus which forms an image on a sheet conveyed from a sheet holding unit, the control method comprising:
- storing first information indicating a depository of the sheet to be supplied to a first sheet holding unit;
- storing second information indicating a depository of the sheet to be supplied to a second sheet holding unit different from the first sheet holding unit;
- performing a notification based on the stored first information in a case where an amount of sheets stored in the first sheet holding unit becomes a predetermined amount;
- and
- performing a notification based on the stored second information in a case where an amount of sheets stored in the second sheet holding unit becomes the predetermined amount.
