Abstract:
An image forming apparatus includes an image forming unit configured to form images that are to be transferred to first sheets, a fixing and erasing unit configured to fix the images onto the first sheets and erase images formed with a decolorizable material on second sheets, and a controller. The controller is configured to interrupt the image forming unit to stop forming images that are to be transferred to the first sheets, and control the fixing and erasing unit to carry out an erasing operation on the second sheets while the image forming unit is interrupted.
