Abstract
Provided is an image forming apparatus including: an image former that forms an image on a recording material; a conveyor that conveys the recording material; an output image reader that reads an output image formed on the recording material; a sheet discharge tray that accommodates the recording material discharged from the conveyor; and a controller that controls an operation of the conveyor based on a reading result of the output image reader. The controller causes a sheet discharge position of a first recording material, on which the output image as a normal image is formed, on the sheet discharge tray to differ from a sheet discharge position of a second recording material, on which the output image as an abnormal image is formed, on the sheet discharge tray in a conveyance direction.
