An image forming apparatus has a plurality of mixed input thereto including one-sided and two-sided documents, and then copied on sheets which are successively outputted in accordance with the supplied documents. The apparatus has a feeder to feed the documents to a reading station, and a discriminator to discriminate whether each of the documents is a one-sided or a two-sided document. Then the apparatus selectively outputs copied sheets in either a one-sided copy mode, a two-sided copy mode or a mixed copy mode in which one-sided and two-sided copy sheets are outputted in accordance with the mixed one-sided and two-sided documents.
