ABSTRACT:
An image forming apparatus is provided with a document feeder for feeding a document to an image scanning portion for scanning an image of the document, a document jam detector for detecting a jam of the document in the document feeder, and a controller for, when the document jam detector detects the jam of the document, stopping an entire image forming operation after completing a specified operation. Since the specified operation is completed upon detection of the document jam, the document to be copied when the image forming operation is resumed after removal of the jammed document can be clearly distinguished from the other. The image forming apparatus can be more rapidly resumed.
