PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To optionally switch a binding process according to an amount of remaining consumable materials required for the binding process, even when a binding process using the consumable material has been specified.SOLUTION: When performing a printing process, an MFP 101 determines whether stapling using needles has been specified for print data or not (S702).If stabling using needles has been set, a determination is made whether the amount of remaining needles 1405 is equal to or smaller than a threshold or not (S704). If the amount of remaining stable needles 1405 is equal to or smaller than the threshold, Control is exerted to perform a binding process by stapling using no needles, instead of stapling using needles.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 7 |
