Abstract: A sheet-processing system can perform a plurality of jobs in parallel. While process 1 and process 2 are being processed simultaneously, a job display screen is segmented into two such that segmented job display screens for process 1 and process 2 are simultaneously displayed in a touch panel display frame of an operation display. Accordingly, the operation display in the sheet-processing system exhibits good visibility.

Abstract: A sheet processing apparatus comprises that a plurality of sheet processing potions that perform a sheet process on a sheet; and a plurality of conveying paths which transport the sheet to connect to the plurality of sheet processing potions, respectively, wherein while one of the plurality of sheet processing potions executes the sheet process on a preceding sheet or a preceding sheet bundle, a subsequent sheet is conveyed to the conveying path connecting to the other one of the plurality of sheet processing potions and held on standby on the conveying path connecting to the other sheet processing potion.

Abstract: A sheet processing system comprises a plurality of sheet processing devices, a primary sheet conveyance path, a secondary sheet conveyance path, and a controller which controls the sheet processing devices. The controller uses the primary sheet conveyance path to execute one job, and uses the secondary sheet conveyance path to execute another job in parallel with that one job.

Abstract: To provide a sheet processing system having a high productivity that can execute plural jobs in parallel, one job of loading a sheet on which an image is formed in the printer to the sheet stacking device and another job served as bookbinding job of bundling and binding a plurality of special sheets stored in the inserter in the finisher to output are executed in parallel.

Abstract: There is provided an image forming apparatus that is capable of preventing input errors and eliminating the necessity of complicated input operations in making settings for a sheet mixing operation in which color image output sheets and black-and-white image output sheets are mixed into one group. A stacker tray stores sheets with color images formed thereon by a color MFP and is equipped with a storage device, into and from which information relating to the sheets can be written and read. A black-and-white MFP operates in response to attachment of the stacker tray to an inserter attached to the black-and-white MFP, to execute an image formation job by providing control such that the sheets with color images formed thereon stored in the stacker tray and sheets with black-and-white images formed thereon by the black-and-white MFP are mixed according to the information stored in the storage device of the stacker tray.
