Image forming apparatus

1. An image forming apparatus including a stencil printer section using a stencil and a non-stencil printer section not using a stencil and capable of forming a stencil image and a non-stencil image on a single sheet with said stencil printer section and said non-stencil printer section, respectively, said image forming apparatus comprising:

a first adjusting section for adjusting a position of the stencil image relative to the sheet in a direction of sheet conveyance and a widthwise direction of said sheet perpendicular to said direction of sheet conveyance;

a control panel having a display which includes a first shift display section for displaying an amount of shift of the position adjusted by said first adjusting section;

a second adjusting section for adjusting a position of the non-stencil image relative to the sheet in the direction of sheet conveyance and the widthwise direction of the sheet;

a second shift display section located in the control panel display for displaying an amount of shift of the position adjusted by said second adjusting section; and

a moving mechanism for shifting the position of the non-stencil image in accordance with an operation of said second adjusting section by moving a print head in a direction perpendicular to a direction of sheet conveyance,

wherein said first shift display section and said second shift display section are positioned side by side in said control panel for assisting adjustment of positioning of said stencil image with respect to said non-stencil image by an operator.

2. The apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , wherein said first adjusting section and said second adjusting section share a single operating means, said apparatus further comprising switching means for switching said operating means to either one of said first adjusting section and said second adjusting section.

3. The apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising distance adjusting means for adjusting, when said non-stencil image forming section forms a plurality of non-stencil images each being associated with a particular one of a plurality of stencil images formed on the sheet by said stencil printing section at equal intervals in the direction of sheet conveyance, a distance between said plurality of non-stencil images.

4. The apparatus as claimed in claim 2 , further comprising interlocking means for causing, when the position of the stencil image is shifted by said first adjusting section, the position of the non-stencil image to be shifted in a same direction and by a same amount as said stencil image.

5. The apparatus as claimed in claim 4 , further comprising direct inputting means for allowing the amount of shift of the non-stencil image to be directly input.

6. The apparatus as claimed in claim 5 , further comprising distance adjusting means for adjusting, when said non-stencil image forming section forms a plurality of non-stencil images each being associated with a particular one of a plurality of stencil images formed on the sheet by said stencil printing section at equal intervals in the direction of sheet conveyance, a distance between said plurality of non-stencil images.

7. The apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising direct inputting means for allowing the amount of shift of the non-stencil image to be directly input.

8. The apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising interlocking means for causing, when the position of the stencil image is shifted by said first adjusting section, the position of the non-stencil image to be shifted in a same direction and by a same amount as said stencil image.

9. The apparatus as claimed in claim 8 , further comprising direct inputting means for allowing the amount of shift of the non-stencil image to be directly input.

10. The apparatus as claimed in claim 9 , further comprising distance adjusting means for adjusting, when said non-stencil image forming section forms a plurality of non-stencil images each being associated with a particular one of a plurality of stencil images formed on the sheet by said stencil printing section at equal intervals in the direction of sheet conveyance, a distance between said plurality of non-stencil images.

11. The apparatus as claimed in claim 1 , further comprising interlocking means for causing, when the position of the stencil image is shifted by said first adjusting section, the position of the non-stencil image to be shifted in a same direction and by a same amount as said stencil image.

12. The apparatus as claimed in claim 11 , further comprising direct inputting means for allowing the amount of shift of the non-stencil image to be directly input.

13. The apparatus as claimed in claim 5 , further comprising distance adjusting means for adjusting, when said non-stencil image forming section forms a plurality of non-stencil images each being associated with a particular one of a plurality of stencil images formed on the sheet by said stencil printing section at equal intervals in the direction of sheet conveyance, a distance between said plurality of non-stencil images.

14. The apparatus as claimed in claim 7 , further comprising distance adjusting means for adjusting, when said non-stencil image forming section forms a plurality of non-stencil images each being associated with a particular one of a plurality of stencil images formed on the sheet by said stencil printing section at equal intervals in the direction of sheet conveyance, a distance between said plurality of non-stencil images.
