1. An image forming apparatus comprising:

  • input means for inputting an image signal;

    recording means for recording an image on a recording medium obtained from one of a plurality of sheet feeding units on the basis of the image signal input by said input means;

    rotating means for performing rotation processing on the image signal input by said input means, and supplying the processed image signal to said recording means;

    control means for controlling an operation of said rotating means; and

    setting means for setting one of either a first mode or a second mode, wherein, when the first mode is set, in a case where none of the plurality of sheet feeding units contains the recording medium selected to record the image on the basis of the image signal so that the image may be recorded thereon without rotating the image, said control means causes said rotating means to perform rotation on the image signal and causes said recording means to record the image on the recording medium which has the same size, but which is set in a different orientation in another sheet feeding unit than the selected recording medium, wherein, when the second mode is set, in a case where none of the plurality of sheet feeding units contains the recording medium selected to record the image on the basis of the image signal so that the image may be recorded thereon without rotating the image, said control means prohibits both said rotation means to perform rotation processing on the image signal and said recording means to record the image, regardless of whether or not the recording medium is present, and wherein, in a case where at least one of the plurality of sheet feeding units contains the recording medium selected to record the image on the basis of the image signal so that the image may be recorded thereon without rotating the image, said recording means records the image on the recording medium regardless of whether the first mode or the second mode is set.
