IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS, IMAGE FORMING METHOD, AND STORAGE MEDIUM

Abstract: an image forming apparatus includes a hardware processor; a supplier that supplies a sheet; an image former; and a sensor that senses an operation of opening and/or closing a paper cassette containing the sheet. an image is formed in any mode between an automatic sensing mode in which the sheet type is discriminated by the hardware processor, and a type specifying mode in which the sheet type is accepted by the hardware processor. in a case in which it is judged that the mode is switched, the hardware processor automatically switches the mode when the image former forms the image. in a case in which the type specifying mode is set, the hardware processor judges, based on sensing of at least one of the operation of opening and/or the operation of closing by the sensor, whether to switch the mode to the automatic sensing mode.
