Image forming apparatus, control method of image forming apparatus, and storage medium

Abstract

An image forming apparatus may include an executing unit, a cancelling unit, and a control unit to form an image on a sheet by executing a job. The executing unit interrupts a first job and executes a second job in a state that a first job is interrupted. If the executing unit executes an interrupt job, then the cancelling unit cancels sheet feed reservation of a sheet for the first job. The control unit controls to execute the second job after the cancelling unit cancels the sheet feed reservation of the sheet.

1 . An image forming apparatus to form an image on a sheet by executing a job, the image forming apparatus comprising:
 an executing unit configured to interrupt a first job and execute a second job in a state that the first job is interrupted;   a cancelling unit configured to cancel, in a case where the executing unit executes the second job, sheet feed reservation of a sheet for the first job; and   a control unit configured to control to execute the second job after the cancelling unit cancels the sheet feed reservation of the sheet.   
     
     
         2 . The image forming apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the cancelling unit cancels sheet feed reservation generated for the first job, sequentially from last generated sheet feed reservation. 
     
     
         3 . The image forming apparatus according to  claim 1 , further comprising a storing unit configured to store print reservations cancelled by the cancelling unit,
 wherein the first job is restarted after executing the second job, according to sheet feed reservations stored in the storing unit.   
     
     
         4 . The image forming apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the cancelling unit cancels, in a case where the executing unit executes the second job, sheet feed reservation of a sheet generated for the first if the first job is not a job for performing a binding process, and does not cancel sheet feed reservation of a sheet generated for the first job if the first job is a job for performing a binding process. 
     
     
         5 . The image forming apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the cancelling unit cancels, in a case where the first job is a job for performing stapling, sheet feed reservation of a sheet subsequent to the last sheet included in a bundle of sheets to be stapled by performing the binding process. 
     
     
         6 . A control method for controlling an image forming apparatus to form an image on a sheet by executing a job, the control method comprising:
 executing a second job while the first job is interrupted;   cancelling, in a case where a second job is executed, sheet feed reservation of a sheet for the first job; and   controlling to execute the second job after cancelling the sheet feed reservation of the sheet.   
     
     
         7 . A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a program that causes an image forming apparatus to execute a job to form an image on a sheet by performing a method, the method comprising:
 executing a second job while the first job is interrupted;   cancelling, in a case where a second job is executed, sheet feed reservation of a sheet for the first job; and   controlling to execute the second job after cancelling the sheet feed reservation of the sheet.   
     
     
         8 . An image forming apparatus to form an image on a sheet by executing a job, the image forming apparatus comprising:
 an executing unit configured to interrupt a first job and execute a second job in a state that the first job is interrupted; and   a control unit configured to control, in a case where the executing unit executes the second job, to feed a sheet to be printed by executing the second job, prior to feeding of a sheet that has been reserved to be fed with respect to the first job.
