Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes: an image forming section that receives print data and forms an image on a sheet; a stacking section that stacks the sheet on which the image is formed by the image forming section; and a notification section that issues notification prompting the user to change orientation of the sheet stacked on the stacking section in the case where an output mode, by which the sheet with the image formed thereon by the image forming section is outputted onto the stacking section, is changed between the sheet and a next sheet, wherein the notification section determines a change of the output mode based on any one of a sheet output orientation that is an orientation in outputting the sheet, on which the image is formed, onto the stacking section and a printing orientation that is an orientation in forming the image on the sheet.
