1. An image forming apparatus comprising:
an operation acceptor that accepts an input operation performed by a user;
a transporter that transports a paper along a transport path;
an image former that forms an image on the paper based on image data when accepting a print command of the image data from the user;
a paper detector that detects a transport status of the paper based on detection results of paper detection sensors that are provided at various locations on the transport path;
a display that displays various types of information to the user;
a storage that stores a plurality of predetermined images showing an assumed jam status of the paper and predetermined guidance for clearing the assumed jam status of the paper when a jam, in which the paper is jammed, occurs while the paper is transported; and
a controller that controls the operation acceptor, the transporter, the image former, the paper detector, the display, and the storage, wherein
in a case that the jam occurs while the paper is transported, the controller causes the display to display, in a user-selectable manner, a plurality of candidate images, among the plurality of predetermined images, showing a paper jam status based on a detection result of the paper detector, each of the plurality of candidate images showing a different paper jam status, and
in a case that the operation acceptor accepts a selection of at least one candidate image, among the plurality of candidate images, the controller causes the display to display the predetermined guidance for clearing the paper jam status, the predetermined guidance corresponding to the selected at least one candidate image.
