ABSTRACT:
A double-sided image forming apparatus includes a feed transport path which extends from a sheet cassette to an image forming section, a first discharge section, a second discharge section which is formed on a same side as side of the apparatus where the first discharge section is formed, a first transport path which extends from the image forming section to the first discharge section, a second transport path, which has a sheet insertion/discharge opening connected to a first discharge section side of the first transport path and which reverses a front and rear of a sheet transporting direction, a third transport path which connects the second transport path to the feed transport path, a fourth transport path which has a sheet insertion opening connected to the sheet insertion/discharge opening of the second transport path and a sheet discharge opening connected to the second discharge section, a jogger for adjusting sheets in the fourth transport path and sheets in the second transport path with a prescribed position, and a stapler for stapling the sheets in the fourth transport path. As a result, miniaturizing and lowering of costs of the apparatus can be realized in the double-sided image forming apparatus.
