Abstract

An image forming system includes a sheet feed apparatus that feeds a sheet; an image forming apparatus that is provided independently of the sheet feed apparatus and that includes an image-formation transport path used for transporting the sheet fed from the sheet feed apparatus and an image forming section that forms an image onto the sheet transported along the image-formation transport path; and a relay apparatus that is independently provided between the sheet feed apparatus and the image forming apparatus. The relay apparatus relays the sheet fed from the sheet feed apparatus toward the image forming apparatus and ensures a distance along which the sheet is transported from the sheet feed apparatus to the image forming apparatus.
