Abstract
An image forming apparatus for outputting a plurality of sets of output units, the output unit composed of a plurality of pages with a determined order being one set, includes an image forming unit for successively forming images corresponding to the respective pages on sheets, a control unit for performing an arithmetic processing of an image eigenvalue for each output unit, a first storage storing the result of the arithmetic processing performed for one specific set of output unit, and a second storage storing the result of the arithmetic processing performed for the nth set of output unit, wherein the control unit determines whether or not the images are normally formed on the sheets for the nth set of output unit based on a comparison result between the result of the arithmetic processing stored in the first storage and that of the arithmetic processing stored in the second storage.
