Abstract: An image forming apparatus is capable of correcting a lateral deviation and/or a skew of a sheet. A pair of conveying rollers convey the sheet to a transfer position of an image. An image sensor reads the sheet on an upstream side of the transfer position in a sheet conveying direction. A control device senses a foreign substance on a reading surface of the image sensor as well as calculate a lateral deviation amount and/or a skew amount of the sheet based on an output signal of the image sensor.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes an image reading device, an image forming device, and a control device. The image reading device reads a source document image. The image forming device forms the source document image read by the image reading device, on a recording sheet. The control device includes a processor, and acts as a controller, when the processor executes a control program. The controller arranges a plurality of source document images sequentially read by the image reading device, in a consolidated form in an area corresponding to one recording sheet, and causes the image forming device to record the source document images on one recording sheet.

Abstract: A mail creation method includes forming an address, forming an image, folding, inserting, sealing, and fixing a voucher. In the forming of the address, an image forming section forms the address on an envelope. In the forming of the image, the image forming section forms the image on paper. In the folding, a folding section folds the paper having the image formed thereon. In the inserting, an enclosing section inserts the folded paper into the envelope having the address formed thereon. In the sealing, the enclosing section seals the envelope having the folded paper inserted therein. In the fixing of the voucher, a voucher fixing section fixes the voucher to the sealed envelope. The voucher indicates that postage has been paid.
