Abstract:
A technology for selecting a sheet feeding source in an image forming apparatus including a plurality of sheet feeding sources is disclosed. A rank is acquired for each of the sheet feeding sources from a search order. The search order defines ranks for possible setups of sheet feeding sources. Each acquired rank represents a setup of a sheet feeding source, which setup is available in the image forming apparatus. A sheet feeding source that satisfies a user specification and whose rank is highest is selected from among the sheet feeding sources.
