Subject: How does JTR know what kind of hash to try to crack?

Using JTR with jumbo patch to try to crack forgotten password to the Password Safe program http://passwordsafe.sourceforge.net/

I believe the Password Safe program uses SHA-256 hash.

Question: How does john know to try SHA-256 hash codes instead of, say, MD5 hash codes or some other hash?
