Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes a detection unit, a determination unit, and a control unit. The detection unit detects a length of a conveyed recording medium. The determination unit determines the number of recording media conveyable in double-sided image formation, on the basis of a result of detection by the detection unit. The control unit controls, on the basis of a result of determination by the determination unit, the order in which image forming operations are performed when the double-sided image formation is performed on a plurality of recording media.
