Abstract
An image forming apparatus is configured to form an image on a sheet on the basis of image data, and the apparatus obtains, on the basis of image data that has been coded, a first blank amount on a leading end side of a succeeding sheet coming after a preceding sheet, and obtains a second blank amount on a trailing end side of the preceding sheet on the basis of the image data that has been coded. Controlling is performed to feed the succeeding sheet to cause the succeeding sheet to overlap with the preceding sheet by the length corresponding to a blank amount being the smaller of the first blank amount and the second blank amount, and to form an image.
