1. An image forming apparatus comprising:
a first sheet storage;
a second sheet storage;
a printer that prints an image on a sheet; and
a controller that executes a print job in which the first sheet storage is designated for printing a first copy and the second sheet storage is designated for printing a second copy, and a sheet attribute is designated and causes the printer to print the image on the sheet,
wherein the controller determines, based on whether a sheet storage for which a sheet attribute different from the sheet attribute designated in the print job is set is the first sheet storage designated for printing the first copy, whether to stop the execution of the print job,
wherein the controller determines, on the basis that a sheet storage for which a sheet attribute different from the sheet attribute designated in the print job is set is the first sheet storage designated for printing the first copy, to stop the execution of the print job, and
wherein the controller determines, on the basis that a sheet storage for which a sheet attribute different from the sheet attribute designated in the print job is set is the second sheet storage designated for printing the second copy, to continue the print job using the second sheet storage without receiving, after starting to execute the print job, a user instruction for continuing the execution of the print job.
