<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming apparatus that reflects an operation a user requests when the number of sheets of output paper exceeds the limited number of sheets of post-processed paper. <P>SOLUTION: In the image forming apparatus 100, when an operating mode is one of the post-processing modes, such as middle binding, middle folding, and cutting, specifically, when the operating mode is a mode that does not allow a real output operation, or when the operating mode is a staple mode that allows the real output operation and the operation performed when the limit number of sheets of post-processed paper exceeds is not "Continuous", specifically, when "Stop job" or "Select continuation/stop of job" is set, a control part 11 controls each of image control parts 10, a printer control part 51, and a post-processing control part 61, thereby performing an operation for all outputs after ensuring the number of sheets of output paper. When the number of sheets of output paper exceeds the limited number of sheets of post-processed paper, the control part 11 refers to a non-volatile memory 12 and controls each part based upon the operation performed when the number of output paper exceeds the limited number of sheets of post-processed paper, which is set in each post-processing mode. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2005,JPO&NCIPI |
