Abstract:
An image forming apparatus includes: an image former that performs image forming processing to a plurality of sheets included in each of a plurality of sheet groups; and a hardware processor that detects occurrence of a jam, wherein the image former completes the image forming processing to each of the plurality of sheets included in a sheet group not including a jammed sheet that has generated the jam.

Claim (Index 11):
The image forming apparatus according to  claim 1 , further comprising:\n a plurality of ejecting paths; a plurality of ejectors corresponding to the plurality of ejecting paths; a hardware processor that ejects the sheets to any of the plurality of ejectors; and a hardware processor that determines whether an ejecting path is allowed to be ensured for the plurality of sheets included in the sheet group not including the jammed sheet that has generated the jam, wherein the hardware processor determines, when determining that the ejecting path is not allowed to be ensured, whether the ejecting path corresponding to a different ejector from the ejector corresponding to the ejecting path determined not allowed to be ensured, is allowed to be ensured, and the hardware processor ejects, when it is determined that the ejecting path corresponding to the different ejector is allowed to be ensured, the plurality of sheets having the image forming processing completed, to the ejecting path.
