POST-PROCESSING APPARATUS, POST-PROCESSING METHOD AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS

摘要

Provided is a puncher having activating/inactivating switch for post-processing function. The puncher prevents undesirable post processing even if the switch indicates activation of the post processing. When a puncher which is registered in the image forming apparatus is attached to the puncher, the puncher obtains information indicating whether or not to the post processing using a punch die is activated or not. When the obtained information indicates that the post processing using the punch die is inactivated, even if the switch indicates activation of the post processing, the post processing is not performed.

主权项

1. A post-processing apparatus configured to perform post-processing, using an attached post-processing member, on a sheet received from an image forming apparatus, and one of a first post-processing member and a second post-processing member is selectively attached thereto as the post-processing member, comprising:
a detection unit configured to detect a type of the attached post-processing member; a control unit configured to control an execution of the post-processing using the attached post-processing member; and a setting unit configured to receive a setting of whether or not to enable the post-processing using the second post-processing member, wherein the control unit is further configured to, in a case where the post-processing member detected by the detection unit is the first post-processing member and information indicating that the post-processing using the first post-processing member is not to be performed is received from the image forming apparatus, determine not to perform the post-processing using the first post-processing member on the sheet even if the post-processing using the second post-processing member is enabled in the setting unit.
