Image forming apparatus in which recording sheets having a tab are used

摘要

An image forming apparatus includes: a feeding section for feeding sheets with tabs and sheets without tabs; a tab detecting section for detecting the end position, in the sheet conveyance direction, of tabs on the sheets fed by the feeding section; a conveying section for conveying sheets that are sequentially fed by the feeding section; and a control section for controlling the conveying section in such as way as to keep constant an interval between a trailing edge of a preceding sheet in the sheet conveyance direction and a leading edge of a succeeding sheet, based on the results of tab detection by the tab detecting section.
