Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes an image reading that reads an original document. An image processing unit determines a region other than a first document region corresponding to the first surface of the original document. The region other than the first document region is eliminated from first image data. A region other than a second document region corresponding to the second surface of the original document is determined. The region other than the second document region from the second image data is eliminated. A printing image is generated. An image forming unit prints the printing image generated by the image processing unit on a single surface of a recording medium.
