ABSTRACT:
An image forming apparatus is provided with a first sheet enclosing unit to enclose sheets in a first direction, a second sheet enclosing unit to enclose sheets in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction, an image forming unit to form an image onto the sheet fed from either one of the first and second sheet enclosing units, a sorter having a plurality of bins for enclosing the sheet on which the image was formed by the image forming unit, and a judging unit to judge an enclosing state of the sheet of each bin of the sorter. The image forming unit selects either one of the first and second sheet enclosing units on the basis of the result of the judgment of the judging unit and allows the selected sheet enclosing unit to feed the sheet.
