Processing system, non-transitory recording medium, and binding mark detection system

A non-transitory recording medium storing a program which, when executed by one or more processors of a processing system including:

• a document reader to read an image on a document of multiple documents;
• and
• a post-processing apparatus including:
• a housing having an opening;
• a processing device to perform a post-processing on a medium on which an image is formed;
• and
• an ejector to eject the medium subjected to the post-processing by the processing device, from the opening,
• the processing system causing the one or more processors to perform a method comprising:
• detecting a binding mark on the document from the image read by the document reader, and
• moving the processing device to a binding position facing the binding mark when the multiple documents including the document is manually fed through the opening of the post-processing apparatus.

A binding mark detection system comprising:

• a processing system including:
• a document reader to read an image on a document;
• a post-processing apparatus to perform a post-processing on multiple documents including the document;
• a first communicator;
• and
• first circuitry configured to control the processing system;
• and
• an information processing apparatus to transmit and receive data with respect to the first communicator of the processing system, the information processing apparatus including:
• a second communicator to transmit and receive data with respect to the processing system;
• and
• second circuitry configured to control the information processing apparatus,
• wherein the first circuitry is further configured to send image data generated by reading the document by the document reader to the information processing apparatus via the first communicator,
• the second circuitry is further configured to:
• determine whether to allow the post-processing apparatus to perform a post-processing on the document based on the image data received from the processing system through the second communicator;
• and
• transmit determination data that indicates a determination result to the processing system through the second communicator, and
• the first circuitry is further configured to control the post-processing apparatus based on the determination data received from the information processing apparatus through the first communicator.
