ABSTRACT:
Toner consumption and contamination in an image forming apparatus can be prevented with a device and method for presetting the paper size to be used in a manual paper feed mode and preventing printing in a region beyond the preset paper size. The device includes a paper width sensing unit that is adjusted by a user in accordance with the width of the paper. A control unit reads a value corresponding to the paper width and generates a control signal indicative of the width of the paper. An image forming unit enables formation of an image only within the range corresponding to the width of the paper.
