ABSTRACT:
An image forming apparatus includes an image forming device that forms a required image on a paper. A paper-feeding tray is capable of advancing and retreating, and is contained in a main body of the image forming apparatus, wherein a plurality of papers can be stacked thereon. A conveying path conveys the paper in the paper-feeding tray to the image forming device. A setting device sets a sort-of-paper when a special paper other than a plain paper is stacked in the paper-feeding tray. A setting device is provided in an operation panel. A setting device can set the sort-of-paper with a single key operation provided in the operation panel, when only one paper-feeding tray is provided with a separation paper-feeding mechanism which can feed paper, including special paper, regardless of the sort-of-paper, and when the special paper is stacked in the paper-feeding tray.
