Abstract:
An image forming apparatus includes a first and second processor. The first processor controls a transport device that transports a sheet and a first image forming section that forms an image on the sheet. The second processor controls a second image forming section that forms an image on the sheet. If an image is to be formed at the second section, the first processor causes the first section to perform image formation preparation and causes the device to transport the sheet upon receiving a notification from the second processor in response to a preparation command transmitted to the second processor for performing image formation preparation in the second section. If an image is not to be formed at the second section, the first processor causes the first section to perform the image formation preparation and the transport device to transport the sheet, without receiving the notification from the second processor.
