The system 5 is equipped with a plurality of sheet reversing parts 7 for reversing the sheet 1 in a returning carrying path 6 for the sheet 1 from the forming part 2. Furthermore, it is equipped with a sheet carrying control means 8 for performing the reversing operation of the sheet 1 by plural sheet reversing parts 7 in turn from a side separate from the forming part 2 along the path 6 for the sheet 1 in the case of selecting the double-sided recording mode. |
