An image forming system comprising:
- a sheet feeder that feeds a sheet;
- a conveyor that conveys the sheet through a conveyance path;
- an acquirer that acquires information on an actual size of the sheet;
- an image former that forms an image on the sheet conveyed through the conveyance path;
- and
- a hardware processor that controls at least one of the sheet feeder, the conveyor, the acquirer, and the image former, wherein
- the hardware processor controls a first process on the basis of the actual size acquired by the acquirer, the first process being controlled based on an end of the sheet separately from image formation based on a print job.
A printing method executed in an image forming system including an image former that forms an image on a sheet conveyed through a conveyance path, the printing method comprising:
- a step (a) of acquiring information on an actual size of the sheet;
