Abstract
An image forming apparatus suppresses the occurrence of dew condensation in a post-processing operation when the sheet is jammed. When information indicating that a sheet is jammed is received, if the sheet detecting sensor detects the sheet on a switching member, a controller executes a conveying action to drive the sheet conveying portion until an upstream edge of the sheet in the sheet conveyance direction passes through the switching member and then stops the sheet conveying portion.
