  • Image-forming system with multiple post-processing
    Patent number: 7817931
    Abstract: An image-forming system determines a type of paper for each single sheet in a job to determine whether it is prohibited to discharge a sheet to a finisher (step S12) to respond to diversifying demands to perform processes after printing using a plurality of paper types. However, the system allows paper to be included in a sheet bundle if the number of sheets is below a fixed limited number of sheets, even if paper types used are inappropriate for the finisher to be the discharge destination. (Steps S14, and Spaces 16) Therefore, discharge to the finisher is not rejected uniformly by the type of paper; finishing can be implemented after printing with a certain degree flexibility.
