IMAGE FORMATION APPARATUS

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image formation apparatus capable of adjusting the printing direction regardless of whether a recording medium is reversed to form images or not. SOLUTION: In a first tray, recording media are housed so that they can be taken out in the state that they are conveyed to an image formation position in a first state. In a second tray, recording media are housed so that they can be taken out in the state so that they can be conveyed to an image formation position in a second state. The second state is the state equivalent to the state in which the recording medium is conveyed in the first state, reversed by a reversing mechanism, and conveyed again to the image formation position. In the image formation apparatus, depending on whether one-side printing is to be performed without reversing the recording medium or both-side printing of reversing the recording medium and printing on both-sides is to be performed, the recording medium is taken out from the first tray or second tray, and the taken-out recording medium is conveyed to the image formation position.
