Abstract:
An image forming apparatus to form an image on a sheet media, including: a memory section which memorizes a position of holes previously punched on the sheet media; an operation section via which the sheet media to be used for image formation, a double-surface print operation and a binding direction are selected; and a control section which determines whether the position of the holes previously punched on the selected sheet media is the same as the binding direction selected via the operation section, after the sheet media carrying the holes and the double-surface print are selected via the operation section, wherein the control section interrupts starting operation of the image formation, if the position of the holes previously punched on the selected sheet media is not the same as the selected binding direction.
