Abstract
An image forming system includes a first feeding portion configured to feed a recording sheet, a second feeding portion configured to feed an inserting sheet from one of a plurality of supporting portions, and a controller capable of executing a feed-before-detection mode in which a feeding process of a current recording sheet is started before a detection portion detects whether or not a last preceding inserting sheet is present on a supporting portion selected as a feeding source of an inserting sheet from among the plurality of supporting portions. The controller is configured to start the feeding process of the current recording sheet in the feed-before-detection mode and cause the second supporting portion to feed the last preceding inserting sheet.
