Abstract
An image forming apparatus provides overhead projector (OHP) copies with interleaf sheets being provided on the back face thereof, while also providing normal paper copies of a desired number in a sorted state. When copies are made both on OHP sheets and on normal paper sheets, a desired number of normal paper copies is first input. Before a copy is made on an OHP sheet, an interleaf sheet is outputted into a bin of a sorter. The OHP sheet thereafter copied is outputted into this bin. The normal paper copies of the input number are made before or after the copying operation on the OHP sheets. The normal paper copies are sorted and outputted into sort bins of the sorter. Since the copying operations on OHP sheets and on normal paper are simultaneously performed, materials for a presentation can be readily prepared in a short time.
