Abstract: Disclosed is an image forming apparatus that includes an image forming section, a conveyance section, a position detecting section, an abnormality detecting section and a control section. When determining as the first determination that it is possible to eject each of the paper sheets and/or the image-formed paper sheets outside and determining as the second determination that it is necessary to re-output the new image-formed paper sheet, the control section incompletely ejects each of the retention paper sheets, remaining within the image forming apparatus, outside from the ejection opening. By controlling the apparatus as above-mentioned, even in a case where it is impossible to eject the concerned paper sheet onto a separate tray, it becomes possible to prevent the retention paper sheet from remaining at an apparatus-inner position, from which it is difficult for the user to remove the retention paper sheet concerned.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus is connected to a paper processing apparatus and includes an image forming unit, a nip part and a hardware processor. The image forming unit performs image forming on continuous paper being conveyed on a conveyance path. The nip part nips the paper on the conveyance path. The processor selectively performs first control and second control according to an output timing of a conveyance control signal if the signal is output from the paper processing apparatus or the image forming apparatus. In the first control, the processor notifies the paper processing apparatus of permission to start or stop conveying the paper after causing the nip part to perform a press-and-contact operation or a separation operation. In the second control, the processor notifies the paper processing apparatus of the permission without causing the nip part to perform either operation.
