IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS THAT PRINTS IMAGE

摘要

An image forming apparatus capable of making a match between the orientation of a reference side of a sheet along which punched holes are formed and the orientation of an output image on the sheet in double-sided printing. It is determined whether or not to rotate an image based on whether the image is printed in a single-sided printing mode or a double-sided printing mode. In the double-sided printing mode, a reverse-side image is printed on a first surface of the sheet, the sheet is conveyed into the printing section through a double-sided conveying path, a front-side image is printed on a second surface of the sheet, and the sheet is discharged. In the single-sided printing mode, an image for single-sided printing is printed on a first surface of the sheet, and the sheet is discharged.

主权项

1. An image forming apparatus comprising:
a sheet feeder configured to feed a sheet having punched holes; a printer configured to print an image on the sheet fed from said sheet feeder; a double-sided conveying path for inverting the sheet on which an image has been printed, and conveying the sheet into said printer; and a controller configured to rotate an image for double-sided printing by 180 degrees and control said printer to print the rotated image, wherein said controller is configured to control said printer to print an image for single-sided printing without rotation by 180 degrees.
