Abstract
An apparatus allowing double-leaved side wiring or saddle wiring of copied sheets of paper performs the following process for forming an image on a two-page spread. In accordance with the direction of the document set on the apparatus, whether or not the image formed on the document should be divided and turned to an image of a two-page spread is determined. When a two-page spread image is to be formed, a blank page is inserted to the images to be printed on the sheets, or the order of images to be printed is exchanged. Thus an image is properly formed on a two-page spread.
