PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To carry out an image forming output for an edited copy in which a paper copy and an electronic copy are mixed by one bundle unit by a method wherein when a read copy is identified to be an electronic copy specific sheet, printing operation is performed by obtaining the information, and when it is identified to be the paper copy, copying operation is performed. SOLUTION: When an image output for an edited copy in which a paper copy and an electronic copy are mixed is performed, read of the copy is performed, and an identifying process concerning which copy it is, performed (S421-422). When the read copy is identified to be an electronic copy specific sheet, a CPU recognizes electronic copy specific information by a character recognizing process, outputs an image forming start indication, and is on standby until illustration is ended (S423). When one page content of an illustration process is ended, processing of a next page is started, and when the processing of all pages are finished, all images are outputted. In contrast, when the read copy is identified as the paper copy, a read image is outputted as it is. When output of all images is completed, starching treatment for bundling sheets is performed (S426). |
