Abstract (en)

An image forming unit (5Y-5K) forms an image on a sheet. A reverse unit (70) pulls in the sheet from a main conveyance path (r1) and reverses a conveyance direction of the sheet to feed the sheet to a sub-conveyance path (r2). A control unit (101) causes a conveyance unit (51, 52, 53) to convey a first sheet that is waiting to the main conveyance path after a trailing end of a second sheet that has been fed from a feeding unit (12) and follows the first sheet has passed through a merging point (200), and moves a trailing end of the first sheet downstream of a branch point (201) before the second sheet reaches the branch point.
