<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming apparatus in which surplus tabbed sheets produced in one set of output can be utilized again for the next set of output, without requiring a user to perform an excessive laborious task. <P>SOLUTION: In the image forming apparatus 100, a CPU 171 calculates the number of tabbed sheet groups G which will be used for one set of image formation and the number of tabbed sheets A which will be used from the G-th tabbed sheet group. Among the G-th tabbed sheet group, surplus tabbed sheets which will be left unused in the one set of image formation are determined. If the number of tabbed sheets A is equal to or less than the number of the surplus tabbed sheets B, at least one of the surplus tabbed sheets B is used to carry out two sets of image formation. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2009,JPO&INPIT</p> |
