Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes a document reading section, a recording medium size selecting section, a large-size document identifying section, and an image forming area setting section. The recording medium size selecting section is configured to select a size of recording media for use in forming images from image data sets of original documents. The large-size document identifying section is configured to identify an image data set greater in document size than a predetermined document size. The image forming area setting section is configured to, for the image data set of greater document size, set an entire imagable area of a recording medium to an image forming area and, for the image data set of the predetermined document size, set one half of the imagable area of a recording medium to an image forming area in a layout for booklet printing.
