Abstract
The present invention is an image forming apparatus having no two-sided printing mechanism in which, by setting a front side printed paper sheet in a manual paper feed section, the paper sheet is taken from the manual paper feed section and a back side printing is executed. At this moment, when a paper detecting switchdetects presence of a paper sheet on a manual paper feed trayat the end of the front side printing, a message meaning to remove the paper sheet and thereafter to set the front side printed paper sheet is given. Whether the paper sheet is removed or not is detected according to a change-over of the paper detecting switch, and the back side printing is executed after the paper sheet is removed and the front side printed paper sheet is set. As a result, erroneous back side printing on an improper paper sheet can be prevented and a two-sided printing can be correctly executed.
