Abstract

An image forming apparatus comprises an image memory unit for storing image information, an image rotation unit for applying predetermined rotation to the image information read from the image memory unit, an image forming unit for forming an image on an output medium based on the image information derived directly from the image memory unit or by the image rotation unit, and a control unit for controlling the rotation of the image by the image rotation unit such that a staple position of the output medium formed by the image forming unit comes to a predetermined position.
