Abstract
An image forming apparatus includes: a needleless binding device configured to form a recessed or raised impression as a needleless binding part by performing needleless binding on a bundle of sheets; an environment sensor; and a controller configured to perform, based on a value detected by the environment sensor, control to display a confirmation image requesting a user to make confirmation on the needleless binding prior to execution of the needleless binding.
Claims12
An image forming apparatus comprising:
- a needleless binding device configured to form a recessed or raised impression as a needleless binding part by performing needleless binding on a bundle of sheets;
- an environment sensor;
- and
- a controller configured to perform, based on a value detected by the environment sensor, control to display a confirmation image requesting a user to make confirmation on the needleless binding prior to execution of the needleless binding.
An image forming apparatus comprising:
- a needleless binding device having a pair of tooth rows and being configured to form a recessed or raised impression as a binding part by pinching a bundle of sheets between the pair of tooth rows;
- and
- a controller configured to control operation of the needleless binding device according to information on stretchability of the sheets so that the binding part is more slowly formed in a first situation where the sheets are less stretchable than in a second situation where the sheet is stretchable.
An image forming apparatus comprising:
- a needleless binding device having a pair of tooth rows and being configured to form a recessed or raised impression as a binding part by pinching a bundle of sheets between the pair of tooth rows;
- and
- a controller configured to control operation of the needleless binding device according to an operation mode selected from an operation mode group including a normal mode and a paper dust reduction mode, wherein
- when the paper dust reduction mode is selected, the controller uses a binding operation condition under which paper dust is less likely to occur than under a binding operation condition for use when the normal mode is selected.
