Image forming system

An image forming system comprising:

• an image forming apparatus including a stacking portion capable of stacking a recording material having an adhesive region in which an adhesive is applied onto a surface of the recording material, an image forming unit for forming an image on the recording material, and a fixing portion for fixing the image formed on the recording material;
• a pressure-bonding processing apparatus including a folding processing portion for folding the recording material fed from the image forming apparatus, and a pressure-bonding portion capable of pressure-bonding the recording material folded by the folding processing portion under pressure application;
• an inputting portion capable of inputting directions of a front surface and a back surface of the recording material stacked on the stacking portion;
• and
• a displaying portion for displaying a message indicating that a pressure-bonding printed matter is properly prepared in a case that the directions of the front surface and the back surface of the recording material inputted by the inputting portion are directions of the front surface and the back surface of the recording material in which the pressure-bonding printed matter is capable of being properly prepared.

An image forming system comprising:

• an image forming apparatus including a first stacking portion capable of stacking a recording material having an adhesive region in which an adhesive is applied onto a surface of the recording material, a second stacking portion capable of stacking the recording material having the adhesive region in which the adhesive is applied onto the surface of the recording material, an image forming unit for forming an image on the recording material, and a fixing portion for fixing the image formed on the recording material,
• wherein the recording material stacked on the first stacking portion is turned upside down from a stacked state and then is fed to the image forming unit, and the recording material stacked on the second stacking portion is fed to the image forming unit without being turned upside down;
• a pressure-bonding processing apparatus including a folding processing portion for folding the recording material fed from the image forming apparatus, and a pressure-bonding portion capable of pressure-bonding the recording material folded by the folding processing portion under pressure application;
• a controller capable of executing an operation in a preparation mode for preparing a pressure-bonding printed matter by folding and pressure-bonding the recording material, on which an image is formed, while controlling the image forming apparatus and the pressure-bonding processing apparatus;
• an inputting portion capable of inputting directions of a front surface and a back surface of the recording material stacked on the first stacking portion, or capable of inputting the directions of a front surface and a back surface of the recording material stacked on the second stacking portion;
• and
• a displaying portion for displaying a message indicating that a pressure-bonding printed matter is not properly prepared in a case that the directions of the front surface and the back surface of the recording material inputted by the inputting portion are different from directions of the front surface and the back surface of the recording material in which the pressure-bonding printed matter is capable of being properly prepared.
