<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming apparatus that has high operation reliability and can obtain satisfactory results of multiple feed detection, even when a material to be recorded for example, preprint paper, on which material an image has already been printed, is used. <P>SOLUTION: The image forming apparatus includes: a unit 26 for stacking the material 6 to be recorded, the unit stacking the materials with the same sizes; units 32, 33 for conveying the material to be recorded; a multiple feed detection unit 30 for detecting that two or more of the materials 6 to be recorded are conveyed; and a multiple feed detection range changing unit 11 for changing a multiple feed detection range on the materials 6 to be recorded in the multiple feed detection unit 30. The multiple feed detection range changing unit 11 is configured to change the multiple feed detection range based on the size of the materials 6 to be recorded. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2012,JPO&INPIT |
