To properly perform printing processing by suppressing paper sheet feeding from a paper sheet feeding source different from the paper sheet feeding source desired by a user.SOLUTION: An image formation system comprises: an image forming apparatus; and a terminal device which is connected to the image forming apparatus via the network. The image forming apparatus comprises: an apparatus body which has an input unit receiving input of a printing instruction; a paper sheet feeding cassette which is stored in the apparatus body; an openable/closable manual feed tray which is attached to the outer surface of the apparatus body; an opening/closing detection unit which can detect the opening/closing of the manual feed tray; and a paper sheet feeding setting unit which sets the paper sheet feeding cassette or the manual feed tray as a paper sheet feeding source. The image forming apparatus feeds paper sheets from the manual feed tray regardless of the setting of the paper sheet feeding setting unit when the opening/closing detection unit detects the opening of the manual feed tray and the printing instruction is input to the input unit.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 5 【課題】ユーザーの希望する給紙元と異なる給紙元からの給紙を抑制し、印字処理を適切に実行する。【解決手段】画像形成システムは、画像形成装置と、画像形成装置にネットワークを介して接続される端末装置と、を備え、画像形成装置は、印字指示の入力を受け付ける入力部を有する装置本体と、装置本体に収容される給紙カセットと、装置本体の外面に取り付けられる開閉可能な手差しトレイと、手差しトレイの開閉を検知可能な開閉検知部と、給紙カセット又は手差しトレイを給紙元に設定する給紙設定部と、を備え、手差しトレイが開放されていることを開閉検知部が検知し、且つ、入力部に印字指示が入力された場合に、給紙設定部の設定に関わらず、手差しトレイから給紙する。【選択図】図５
