Abstract
An image forming apparatus for forming images of plurality of pages on one cut sheet, includes: a sheet cutting mechanism for cutting a cut sheet on which images of a plurality of pages have been formed into smaller sheets the number of which corresponds to the number of the pages; a sheet arranging mechanism for arranging the smaller sheets thus provided; and a sheet stacking mechanism for stacking the smaller sheets thus arranged. Hence, it is unnecessary for the apparatus to have a sheet post-processing apparatus.
