Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes a transfer member, a fixing unit, a double-side feeding path through which the sheet, performed with image formation on a first surface thereof and passed through the fixing unit; is fed to transfer the toner image onto a second surface thereof, a first feeding unit to feed the sheet in the double-side feeding path and a second feeding unit to feed the sheet fed by the first feeding unit toward the transfer member. A controller selects a first double-side feeding control in which the sheet is fed by the second feeding unit or a second double-side feeding control in which the sheet is fed by the first feeding unit and the second feeding unit in a case in which the double-side printing is performed in the second mode.
