Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes an image forming section, a document size detecting section, a recording medium size selecting section, and a control section. When one of a pair of image data sets to be placed on both sides of a common recording medium by image formation of the image forming section is greater in length of the document size detected by the document size detecting section than the other, the recording medium size selecting section selects, as a size of the recording medium for the pair of image data sets, a size greater in length than the other image data set. When the other image data set is to be formed as an image on a page preceding the one image data set, the control section allows the image forming section to form the image on an area from a leading edge to a middle of the recording medium.
