ABSTRACT:
An image forming apparatus such as a copying apparatus capable of executing copy operations with excellent efficiency, when executing multi-sort copying even when there is a large number of document pages or a large number of copy bundles, by executing controls to calculate the number of sorting bins required to accommodate ejected recording sheets per document bundle based on the number of document pages and the sheet accommodation capacity per each bin of a sorter, and calculate the number of copies possible in a single multi-sort copy operation from the total number of bins of the sorter and the number of bins required to accommodate the ejected recording sheets per document bundle, and divide the number of copies in a plurality of multi-sort copy operations when the number of set copy bundles exceeds the number of copies possible in a single multi-sort copy operation.
