Abstract:
An image forming apparatus includes circuitry configured to receive a first print job and ejection-destination designating information designating one of a plurality of ejection destinations as an ejection destination of a first printed matter based on the first print job. The circuitry is configured to perform, based on the ejection-destination designating information, a determination of whether to eject the first printed matter to a previous ejection destination to which a second printed matter has been ejected based on a second print job received one before the first print job. The circuitry is configured to select the ejection destination of the first printed matter according to the determination.

Claim (Index 4):
The image forming apparatus according to  claim 1 , further comprising a sensor to detect whether the ejection destination of the first printed matter is in an ejectable state,\n wherein, when the ejection destination of the first printed matter designated by the ejection-destination designating information is in an unejectable state, the circuitry sets another ejection destination in the ejectable state to a current ejection destination to which the first printed matter is to be ejected.
