Abstract

In a structure that setting for a second job is possible even if a first job is being executed, if the first job is the job which uses a manual sheet feed unit, a sheet selection key is handled on a second job setting screen to display a manual feed key with shading or halftone dots on a sheet setting screen. Thus, it is inhibited from selecting the manual sheet feed unit, whereby it is inhibited from changing sheet size setting of the manual sheet feed unit.
