An image forming apparatus includes an image reader configured to perform image reading of a first original and perform image reading of a second original after reading of the first original, a printer configured to print a read image read by the image reader on a sheet, and a controller configured to control operation of the image reader and the printer. As to the first original, the controller is configured, in a case where the printer performs double-sided printing to print on both sides of a sheet, to start to print a read image of the first original before the image reading of the first original is completed, and as to the second original, the controller is configured, in a case where the printer performs double-sided printing to print on both sides of a sheet, to start to print a read image of the second original after the image reading of the second original is completed.
