<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To reduce user's workload after the end of a printing work in the case of performing a printing work while using an enlarging and consecutive copying function. <P>SOLUTION: Among recording materials enlarged and consecutively copied by a printing part 6, odd-numbered (n) recording materials are guided to a both-side printing unit 10, the odd-numbered (n) recording material is turned upside down in the both-side printing unit 10, and the odd-numbered (n) recording material turned upside down is carried to a post-processing part 20 through the printing part 6. Thereafter, among the recording materials enlarged and consecutively copied by the printing part 6, even-numbered (n+1) recording materials are directly carried to the post-processing part 20 (without carrying the material to the both-side printing unit 10), then, the even-numbered (n+1) recording material is overlaid on the odd-numbered (n) recording material, and the end parts of the odd-numbered (n) recording material and the even-numbered (n+1) recording material are bound by the post-processing part 20. Next, the bound recording materials (n and n+1 recording materials) are discharged from the post-processing part 20 onto a paper discharge tray 12. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO |
