A print control method of an image forming apparatus having a print engine unit which is controlled by a command applied from an external device and prints an image in accordance with image data applied from the external device on a recording medium by a page unit. The method includes the steps of: standing-by a reception of a print command signal from the external device in a stand-by state; detecting an operation state of the external device after starting a print operation in response to the received print command signal; printing an image in accordance with image data on printing paper, discharging the printed paper to outside of the image forming apparatus, and then executing a stand-by mode, when the external device is in a normal state; and stopping a print operation and then performing error processing operation, after discharging printing paper in state of white paper to outside of the image forming apparatus, when the external device is in an abnormal state.
