<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an image forming device which can improve the loadability of an output means of postprocessing image-formed sheets by output units and improve the throughput. <P>SOLUTION: An image input/output system 100 changes an output mode when whether the number of sheets in an output unit is one or more is determined, determines whether paper feed scheduling of sheets including a sheet for an image is performed when whether there is input of an image is determined or when whether there is input of a next image is determined according to the changed output mode, and controls a finisher unit 500 according to the changed output mode, thereby starting the paper feed scheduling in the determined timing. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO |
