Abstract

An image forming apparatus indicates completion of a scanning operation for both sides of an original document, or completion of a transmitting operation of image information data corresponding to both sides of the original document. The image forming apparatus scans both sides of the original document for obtaining the image information data. A first marker unit provides a first mark when a scanning of a front side of the original document is completed or when a transmission of image information data corresponding to the front side is completed. A second marker unit provides a second mark when a scanning of a reverse side of the original document is completed or when a transmission of image information data corresponding to the reverse side is completed.
