Abstract
An image forming apparatus that ensures a log for use in calculating a usage fee is properly stored in a nonvolatile memory of the apparatus. When an image sensor detects completion of drawing on a recording medium by a printing unit while a chargeable job is executed, a flag is updated to a first state. Then, an output unit is instructed to output the recording medium, and monitoring of an output sensor is started. When the output sensor no longer detects the recording medium after the output unit is instructed to output the recording medium, the flag is updated to a second state and the log is updated. In a case where an error occurs during the detection of the recording medium by the output sensor after the output unit is instructed to output the recording medium, the chargeable job is terminated without the log being updated.
