Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a printing unit, a verification unit, an insertion unit, and a display unit. The printing unit prints an image on a recording sheet. The verification unit verifies the image printed by the printing unit. The insertion unit inserts an insertion sheet, on which an identifier is printed, to partition a plurality of recording sheets, on each of which the image is printed, for each bundle of a predetermined number of sheets. The display unit displays the number of recording sheets on each of which an image associated with the identifier and determined as a normal image by the verification unit is printed.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus includes a printing unit, a reading unit, a verification unit, and a control unit. The printing unit prints an image on a recording sheet. The reading unit reads the image printed by the printing unit. The verification unit verifies the image read by the reading unit. The control unit performs control to cause information, indicating that the image read by the reading unit is not to be verified by the verification unit, to be printed on the recording sheet with the image. When the reading unit reads the information, the control unit performs control so that the image is not to be verified by the verification unit.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus which is capable of reducing input errors in network settings. The image forming apparatus has a plurality of network I/Fs and connects an image formation control apparatus to one of the plurality of network I/Fs. A display control unit controls display on a screen relating to network settings on the image forming apparatus. Based on selection of a network I/F to which the image formation control apparatus is to be connected, the display control unit determines what to display on the screen relating to network settings on the image forming apparatus.

Abstract: A sheet processing system includes a creasing device, a binding device provided downstream of the creasing device in sheet conveying direction, and a controller. The creasing device performs creasing processing to crease a plurality of sheets. The binding device binds a sheet bundle to be folded. The sheet bundle to be folded includes the plurality of sheets creased by the creasing device. The controller controls the creasing device. In a case where a binding position of the sheet bundle is different from a creasing position of each sheet, the controller controls the creasing device to perform creasing processing such that the creasing position of an inner sheet of the sheet bundle to be folded is shifted toward the binding position with respect to the creasing position of an outer sheet of the sheet bundle to be folded.

Abstract: A communication system capable of more efficiently reducing power consumption. The communication system causes a DFE to shift from a power-saving mode to a normal mode based on a notification received from an MFP. A CPU of the MFP identifies a factor having caused the MFP to return from a power-saving mode to a normal mode. The CPU determines based on the identified factor whether or not to cause the DFE to shift from the power-saving mode to the normal mode. The CPU notifies, based on determination to cause the DFE to shift from the power-saving mode to the normal mode, an instruction for causing the DFE to shift from the power-saving mode to the normal mode, to the DFE. The DFE shifts from the power-saving mode to the normal mode, based on the notification of the instruction.
