This invention provides an image forming apparatus, job processing method,
and the like, which consider the needs, operability, and use environments
of the operator in the print system. To this end, an image forming
apparatus, which can print job data in storage unit that can store a
plurality of independent job data, has control unit adapted to control
the image forming apparatus to execute a multiple job continuous print
operation for continuously executing print processing of a plurality of
independent job data of the job data in the storage unit, and the control
unit controls the image forming apparatus to execute test print
processing of each of the plurality of job data to be continuously
printed to allow a user to confirm a print result before completion of
all print processes of the plurality of job data to be continuously
printed by the multiple job continuous print operation.
