<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming apparatus, in which sheets of paper stacked in descending order can be supplied relative to an off-line post-processor, without impairing user-friendliness. <P>SOLUTION: In the image forming apparatus, according to an input operation by a user, control can be exerted so that whether sheets of paper with images printed on them are stacked, in an ascending order or a descending order, is determined. When the sheets with images printed on them are stacked in the ascending order, the switching flapper 220 of a printer part 2, a paper ejection roller 219, and paper refeed rollers 222 and 223 are used to invert each paper front to back and eject it (turned over and ejected paper). When the sheets with the images printed on them are stacked in the descending order, the sheets of paper are ejected, without being inverted. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI |
