Abstract
An image forming apparatus has a traveling unit carrying sheets of paper along a longitudinal path from a printing section to a stacker roller which guides sheets of paper having only one printed side to a stacker section. Selected sheets of paper are being displaced along a reverse path from the stacker roller back to the printing section for providing printing on the opposite side of the selected sheets, which are eventually guided by switching gates located along the reverse path to a sorting device juxtaposed with the switching gates.
