Abstract:
An image forming apparatus that is capable of preventing discharged sheet adhesion while lowering degradation of productivity. A print unit prints an image on a sheet based on a print job. A fixing unit fixes the image primed on the sheet to the sheet. The sheet to which the image is fixed is discharged to a discharge tray. A counter counts discharged sheet number that is the number of sheets discharged to the discharge tray during a continuous print operation. A controller controls the print unit so as to lower productivity that is discharging sheet number per unit time in response to increase in the discharged sheet number counted by the counter and so as to recover the productivity in a case where the sheets discharged to the discharge tray are removed in a state where the productivity is lowered.

Claim (Index 9):
The image processing apparatus according to  claim 2 , further comprising a display unit configured to display information to a user,\n wherein the controller displays that removal of the sheets on the discharge tray recovers the productivity on the display unit after controlling the print unit to lower the productivity to the first level in a case where the discharged sheet number exceeds the first predetermined value.
