Image forming apparatus, control method, and storage medium configured to form image layers on a first recording medium and a second recording medium

Abstract

An image forming apparatus to form image layers on a first recording medium and a second recording medium, and including a reception unit that receives a print job, a conveyance unit, an image forming unit, a re-conveyance unit, and a discharge unit. The conveyance unit sequentially conveys recording media to a recording position used to form an image layer on a recording medium. Each time a recording medium is conveyed to the recording position, the image forming unit forms one image layer on the conveyed recording medium based on the print job. The re-conveyance unit re-conveys the same recording media to the recording position. The second recording medium is conveyed to the recording position prior to the first recording medium unless the second recording medium and the first recording media are to receive the same number of image layers. Then, the first recording medium is conveyed to the recording position.
