Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes an image forming unit, a reversing unit, a detection unit for detecting leading and trailing edges of a sheet, and an alignment unit for aligning an image with respect to the leading edge of the sheet, and generates an output item in which a first sheet with a first image and a second sheet with a second image are stacked, a surface with the first image of the first sheet and a surface with the second image of the second sheet face each other, and a trailing edge of the first sheet and a leading edge of the second sheet face each other. The alignment unit corrects a position of the second image with respect to the leading edge of the second sheet during formation of the second image based on a detection result of the trailing edge of the first sheet.
