IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS

To solve the problem in which: when a sheet ejected to a reverse tray is a transparent film such as an OHT sheet, visibility in removing the sheet from the reverse tray is deteriorated.SOLUTION: An image forming apparatus comprises: feeding means that has a feeding conveyance path; image forming means; merging conveying means that has a merging conveyance path and a merging conveying roller; reverse conveying means that has a reverse conveyance path and a reverse conveying roller; a reverse support unit that supports a sheet; double-sided conveying means that has a double-sided conveyance path and a double-sided conveying roller; driving means; and control means that controls the driving means. The control means, when a failure occurs in conveyance of a sheet passing through the feeding conveyance path, switches a first mode for ejecting retained sheets to the reverse support unit and a second mode for not ejecting the retained sheets to the reverse support unit, based on information on the type of the sheet.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 8 【課題】 反転トレイに排出されたシートがＯＨＴ等の透明フィルムの場合、シートを反転トレイから除去する際の視認性が悪くなる。【解決手段】 給送搬送路を有する給送手段と、画像形成手段と、合流搬送路と合流搬送ローラを有する合流搬送手段と、反転搬送路と反転搬送ローラを有する反転搬送手段、シートを支持する反転支持部と、両面搬送路と両面搬送ローラを有する両面搬送手段と、駆動手段と、前記駆動手段を制御する制御手段と、を備え、前記制御手段は、前記給送搬送路を通過するシートの搬送不良が発生した場合に、シートの種類の情報に基づいて、前記滞留したシートを前記反転支持部に排出する第１モードと、前記滞留したシートを前記反転支持部に排出しない第２モードと、を切り替える、ことを特徴とする画像形成装置。【選択図】 図８
