Abstract
A heater heats sheets to which a powder adhesive has been applied in a binding margin. A pressing member manufactures a booklet by applying pressure to the sheets. In a first adhesion mode, an application amount of the powder adhesive applied to the binding margin is a first application amount and a heat parameter proportional to an amount of heat applied to the sheets is a first value. In a second adhesion mode, the application amount of the powder adhesive applied to the binding margin is a second application amount and the heat parameter is a second value. The first value is higher than the second value. The first application amount is lower than the second application amount.
