Abstract:
An image forming apparatus  100  allowing insertion of an insert-sheet between discharged sheets of recording paper includes: an image forming unit  122  forming an image on the recording paper; an operation unit  130  designating an insertion position for inserting the insert-sheet; a discharge unit discharging the sheets of recording paper having images formed and the insert-sheet; and a control unit  102  controlling timing for inserting the insert-sheet. The insertion position is designated by a copy-by-copy basis with one copy being a set of sheets of recording paper having all images included in a job instructing image formation on the recording paper formed thereon. The control unit  102  controls the discharge unit such that the sheets of recording paper having the image formed thereon are discharged by the number determined from the insertion position and thereafter the insert-sheet is discharged. Thus, the insert-sheet can be inserted at an arbitrary position designated on the copy-by-copy basis, and the user can easily handle the output sheets of recording paper.

Claim (Index 6):
The image forming apparatus according to  claim 2 , further comprising:\n a calculating device calculating the number of said sets that have been discharged until said insert-sheet is discharged; wherein said image formed on said portion of said insert-sheet is an image of a numeral indicating a value larger by 1 than the number of said sets calculated by said calculating device.
