<p>PURPOSE:To avoid trouble such as the interruption of processing by mounting a warning means giving warning to at least the selection of staple processing when it is judged that the number of image forming sheets are more than the number of staple needles by a comparing means. CONSTITUTION:First, the set number of copy sheets is compared with the count value of a needle counter. The set number of copy sheets is transmitted to a sorter CPU 370 as the numerical value inputted to a copier main body by an operator from a copier CPU 380. When the set number of sheets is larger than the needle count value, a staple display LED flashes to give warning such that staple processing becomes imperfect when the copier main body is started as it is and urges the supply of staple needles. When the set number of sheets is less than the count value of the needle counter, the blinking of the LED is stopped. Therefore, trouble such that the staple needles are exhausted on the way of staple processing and the processing is interrupted can be avoided and the supply timing of the staple needle can be detected by an operator and the staple needle can be efficiently used.</p> |
