A recording material conveyance apparatus includes a hardware processor and a measurement section. The hardware processor is capable of performing switching control of, in response to, among a plurality of recording material housing sections that house recording materials, a first recording material housing section becoming out of recording material while a recording material fed from the first recording material housing section is being conveyed, selecting a second recording material housing section to cause a recording material housed in the second recording material housing section to be conveyed. In the switching control, the hardware processor selects the second recording material housing section based on a measured physical property value of each of the recording materials of the recording material housing section The measurement section measures the physical property value of each of the recording materials of the recording material housing section. The physical property value corresponds to a physical property.

A control apparatus capable of reducing labor required for a user to set a sheet feeding unit is provided. The control apparatus that sets a sheet feeding unit to be used in a printing processing performed by an image forming apparatus including a plurality of sheet feeding units includes at least one processor, and a memory coupled to the processor storing instructions that, when executed by the processor, cause the processor to function as an obtaining unit that obtains information about sheets, which have been fed into the plurality of sheet feeding units, and a display control unit that displays a setting screen for allowing a user to select the sheet feeding unit to be used in the printing processing. Information about a virtual sheet feeding unit obtained by integrating two or more sheet feeding units, into which sheets satisfying a predetermined condition have been fed, into one is displayed.
