Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes a sheet storage section, an image forming device, a transport route, a transport device, and a switching device. The switching device is turned on or off depending on a pressing force applied by an end portion of a sheet being transported along the transport route, at a position on the transport route upstream of the image forming device in a sheet transport direction. The switching device is turned on or off depending on whether the pressing force is equal to or larger than a predetermined pressing force to be applied by the sheet having predetermined rigidity, or smaller than the predetermined pressing force.
