<p>PURPOSE:To prevent a failure that unnecessary sheets are stapled by providing a control means that prohibits the finish mode process for stapling if the grouping mode is selected. CONSTITUTION:If the grouping mode is selected as the operational mode of a sorter section 41, the finish mode is prohibited, and a warning that the finish mode process is impossible is generated. That is, a finish mode flag is checked, and if the finish mode is not selected, there is no problem, thus the grouping process and subsequent processes are performed. However, if the finish mode is selected, a warning that this mode process is impossible is generated, and the system operation is prohibited. If an operator intends to proceed with the copying process, the finish mode is prohibited, and the grouping process and others are subsequently performed.</p> |
