<p>An image forming apparatus includes a paper delivery detecting switch (141) provided near the paper delivery opening, a paper presence detecting structure (144) to detect the presence of the paper on the receiving tray, a counter circuit (140) and a comparator (162). The counter circuit (140) counts up the number of sheets of paper delivered on the receiving tray in response to a delivered paper signal from the paper delivery detecting switch (141) and a paper presence signal from the paper presence detecting structure (144). The comparator (162) compares the value of the number of sheets of paper counted up by the counter circuit and a delivery quantity limit value preset in the apparatus main body, and stops operating of the apparatus when the two values coincide.</p> |
