Abstract:
An image forming apparatus has a sheet processing unit for feeding a cover sheet and a folder for folding the cover sheet with a bundle of recording sheets. The sheet processing unit has a cover sheet feeder for feeding a cover sheet facing upward toward an image forming unit, a reversing unit for reversing the cover sheet so that the cover sheet faces downward, and a conveyor for conveying the reversed cover sheet to the folder in a switchback manner so that the front face of the cover sheet faces the folding roller pair. The folder has a thrusting member for thrusting the bundle of sheets toward the folding roller pair and discharging the folded bundle to a discharge tray.
