Abstract
In an image processing apparatus, a control device controls a releasing member to release a release object onto a sheet to perform an image processing; controls a first rotating body to rotate to convey the sheet on which the releasing member has released the release object; controls a second rotating body to rotate to convey the sheet whose leading edge has passed through the first rotating body; determines whether a cover is in an open position or a close position relative to a housing of the image processing apparatus based on a signal outputted by a cover sensor; and restricts, when the cover is determined to be in the open position based on the signal, a rotation of the second rotating body while the first rotating body rotates.
