An image forming apparatus comprises an image memory unit for storing image information, an image rotation unit for applying predetermined rotation to the image information read from the image memory unit, an image forming unit for forming an image on an output medium based on the image information derived directly from the image memory unit or by the image rotation unit, and a control unit for controlling the rotation of the image by the image rotation unit such that a staple position of the output medium formed by the image forming unit comes to a predetermined position.

When images on the front and rear sides of multiple originals are reduced in size and recorded onto both sides of a single recording sheet in composite form, recording positions of images on the front and rear sides of each original are determined such that reduced images on the front side of the original are recorded on the front side of the recording sheet and reduced images on the rear side of the same original are recorded at corresponding positions on the rear side of the recording sheet. As a result, when the recording sheet is cut into pieces corresponding to respective recorded images, images on the front and rear sides of each cut piece of the recording sheet respectively agree with images on the front and rear sides of each original.

An original reading apparatus includes an original feeding unit for feeding the front and back sides of two-side originals in succession to a reading position, a reader unit for reading the original in the reading position, a memory unit for storing the image data of the original read by the reader unit, a read-out unit adapted to read the image data from the memory unit in the continuous order of pages, in case of reading a bundle of originals wherein the pages are so arranged that a side of the original bears the images of N-th and first pages and the other side of the original bears the images of (N-1)-th and second pages, and an output unit for successively outputting or transmitting the image data read by the read-out unit.

An image synthesizing apparatus includes a reading unit which reads an image of an original, and an input unit which inputs print data from an external apparatus. A first setting unit sets a synthesis mode for synthesizing image data output from the reading unit and the print data input from the input unit for recordation, and a second setting unit sets a number of pages of different print data to be synthesized in the synthesis mode. A control unit is adapted, when the synthesis mode is set by the first setting unit, to maintain the synthesis mode until the different print data of the number of pages set by the second setting unit is input by the input unit, and to cancel the synthesis mode after the different print data of the set number of pages has been input.

An image forming apparatus performs the printing in any of a copy mode, a facsimile mode and a print mode, having a sorter for sorting ejected sheets, wherein the operation is controlled suitably for each mode when the number of sheets stored in a bin of said sorter is over the upper limit. An image forming method using a plurality of bins, and a counter for counting the number of sheets stored in each bin, includes interrupting the print if the number of sheets stored in the bin is over the upper limit in the copy mode, and continuing the print and switching the bin, in the printer and facsimile mode, if the number of sheets is over the upper limit.

When a binary image signal or multivalued image signal is input to form an image, if the binary image signal is input, one of the line width output characteristic previously stored in memory is set and displayed. If the multivalued image signal is input, one of the density output characteristic previously stored in the memory is set and displayed. Each of the line width output characteristic and the density output characteristic can be changed by the operator. The line width output characteristic is changed by changing the development bias voltage, and the density output characteristic is changed by changing the .gamma.-table.

An image forming apparatus includes a unit for inputting image information from an external apparatus, a unit for forming an image on a recording medium, a unit for reading an original, a unit for detecting a jam of the recording medium, a unit for being manually operated by an operator, and a unit for controlling a recovery operation from a jammed state. The apparatus includes a first mode for forming an image corresponding to the input image information, and a second mode for forming a composite image by synthesizing the image corresponding to the input image information with an image of the original read by the reading unit. The control unit starts the recovery operation from the jammed state in response to release of the jam in the first mode, and starts the recovery operation from the jammed state in response to a manual operation of the operation unit by the operator after release of the jam in the second mode.

An image forming apparatus includes a sorter with a plurality of accommodating units for sorting sheets on which images have been formed. The sorter is detachably mountable to the image forming unit, and has a first control unit for allowing image formation of a second group by interrupting image formation of a first group upon reception of an interrupt instruction to perform image formation of images of the second group while image formation of images of the first group is suspended, and for resuming image formation of the first group after the image formation of the second group has been completed, and a second control unit for changing units to accommodate sheets in the sorter so as to accommodate sheets on which images of the first group have been formed and sheets on which images of the second group have been formed in different accommodating units in accordance with the instruction of the interrupt, a detector for detecting the mounting or detaching of the sorter, and a prohibition unit for prohibiting interrupt of image formation of the second group during image formation of the first group when the detector detects the detaching of the sorter.

An image forming apparatus includes an image forming unit for forming images onto sheets in either one of a first mode for sequentially forming the images onto the sheets from a last page and a second mode for sequentially forming the images onto the sheets from a front page. The apparatus also includes a rotation processing unit for rotating the image in the direction of 180.degree. for the direction of the image in the first mode before the image forming unit forms the images in the second mode. The apparatus further includes a tray for stacking the sheets, a reversing path for reversing the sheet in the second mode, a conveying path for conveying the sheets formed with the images by the image forming unit to the tray directly or through the reversing path, and a stapler for performing a stapling on an upstream side in the conveying direction in the sheet and on a left side or a right side in the conveying direction. The stapler performs the stapling on the left side in the conveying direction in the first mode and on the right side in the conveying direction in the second mode.
