Abstract:
1. An image forming apparatus, comprising: a printing unit configured to perform printing on a recording medium; a multiple-sheet-feed detecting unit configured to detect a multiple sheet feed of the recording medium; an image holding unit configured to hold an image expected to print on the recording medium on which the multiple sheet feed is detected; and a print control unit configured to control the printing unit; and wherein the print control unit is further configured (a) to cancel printing on the recording medium on which the multiple sheet feed is detected, (b) to cause the printing unit to print the image held by the image holding unit on another recording medium that (b1) is in transfer after the recording medium on which the multiple sheet feed is detected, (b2) is nearest in a transferring order to the recording medium on which the multiple sheet feed is detected, and (b3) has a property same as that of the recording medium on which the multiple sheet feed is detected, (c) to cause to output a recording medium on which the multiple-sheet-feed detecting unit does not detect a multiple sheet feed to a first output destination, and output a recording medium on which the multiple-sheet-feed detecting unit detects a multiple sheet feed to a second output destination different from the first output destination, and (d) to cause to output the recording medium on which the image held by the image holding unit is printed to the first output destination.
