Abstract
A laminating system including: a laminator that performs lamination processing on a plurality of sheets that are conveyed; a second sheet conveyor that is on an upstream side of the laminator and that overlaps a leading end and a trailing end of respective sheets among the plurality of sheets conveyed from a first sheet conveyor including an image former or reduces an interval between the sheets so as not to generate a gap between the sheets; and a hardware processor that determines whether or not specific processing operated by temporarily interrupting an image forming operation occurs in a job, and changes an execution timing of the specific processing to a timing before a start or after an end of the job in response to determination that the specific processing occurs.
Claims15
A laminating system comprising:
- a laminator that performs lamination processing on a plurality of sheets that are conveyed;
- a second sheet conveyor that is on an upstream side of the laminator and that overlaps a leading end and a trailing end of respective sheets among the plurality of sheets conveyed from a first sheet conveyor including an image former or reduces an interval between the sheets so as not to generate a gap between the sheets;
- and
- a hardware processor that
- determines whether or not a specific processing that operates by temporarily interrupting an image forming operation has an execution timing that will occur in a job to be performed, and
- changes the execution timing of the specific processing to a timing before a start or after an end of the job in response to determination that the specific processing occurs in the job.
An image forming apparatus that is connectable to a laminating apparatus that performs lamination processing after overlapping a leading end and a trailing end of respective sheets or after reducing an interval between the sheets so as not to generate a gap between the sheets, the sheets being a plurality of conveyed sheets, the image forming apparatus comprising a hardware processor that
- determines whether or not a specific processing that operates by temporarily interrupting an image forming operation has an execution timing that will occur in a job to be performed, and
- changes the execution timing of the specific processing to a timing before a start or after an end of the job in response to determination that the specific processing occurs in the job.
A non-transitory recording medium storing a computer-readable program for a computer that controls an image forming apparatus that is connectable to a laminating apparatus that performs lamination processing after overlapping a leading end and a trailing end of respective sheets or after reducing an interval between the sheets so as not to generate a gap between the sheets, the sheets being a plurality of conveyed sheets, the program causing the computer to
- determine whether or not a specific processing that operates by temporarily interrupting an image forming operation has an execution timing that will occur in a job to be performed, and
- change the execution timing of the specific processing to a timing before a start or after an end of the job in response to determination that the specific processing occurs in the job.
