Abstract
In a delivery destination control method of this invention, even when a cardboard mode is instructed first, and then a finishing mode is instructed, the cardboard mode instructed first is preferentially selected and set. Conversely, even when the cardboard mode is instructed first, and then the finishing mode is instructed, the finishing mode instructed first is preferentially selected and set. When the cardboard mode is set, the delivery destination is controlled to a first delivery section, and a change of the delivery destination is inhibited. When the finishing mode is set, the delivery destination is controlled to a second delivery section, and the change of the delivery destination is inhibited.

A delivery destination control method for forming an image on a medium in accordance with a mode that is set and controlling a destination to which the medium with the image on it is to be delivered, comprising the steps:
- a first step of selecting and setting only a specific mode of a plurality of instructed modes when a cardboard mode for forming an image on cardboard paper and a finishing mode capable of designating paper finishing processing, which cannot be simultaneously executed, are simultaneously instructed;
- and
- a second step of controlling the delivery destination of a medium having an image formed by an image forming section in correspondence with the specific mode selected and set in the first step such that when the cardboard mode is set in the first step, the delivery destination of cardboard paper having the image formed by said image forming section is a first delivery section corresponding to delivery of cardboard paper, and when the finishing mode is set in the first step, the delivery destination of normal paper having the image formed by said image forming section is a second delivery section corresponding to finishing processing.
A delivery destination control method for forming an image on a medium in accordance with a mode that is set and controlling a destination to which the medium with the image on it is to be delivered, comprising the steps:
- a first step of selecting and setting only a specific mode of a plurality of instructed modes when a plurality of modes are instructed which cannot be simultaneously executed, wherein a mode which is instructed first in the plurality of instructed modes is preferentially selected and set;
- and
- a second step of controlling, in accordance with the mode set in the first step, a delivery destination of a medium having an image formed by an image forming section.
A delivery destination control method for forming an image on a medium in accordance with a mode that is set and controlling a destination to which the medium with the image on it is to be delivered, comprising the steps:
- a first step of selecting and setting only a specific mode of a plurality of instructed modes when a plurality of modes are instructed which cannot be simultaneously executed, wherein a mode which is instructed last in the plurality of instructed modes is preferentially selected and set;
- and
- a second step of controlling, in accordance with the mode set in the first step, a delivery destination of a medium having an image formed by an image forming section.
An image forming apparatus comprising:
- a mode setting section for, when modes which cannot be simultaneously executed are simultaneously instructed, selecting and setting only a specific mode of a plurality of instructed modes, wherein when a cardboard mode for forming an image on cardboard paper and a finishing mode capable of designating paper finishing processing, which cannot be simultaneously executed, are simultaneously instructed, said mode setting section selects and sets one of the modes;
- an image forming section for forming an image on a medium in correspondence with the mode set by said mode setting section, wherein said image forming section forms the image on cardboard paper when the cardboard mode is set by said mode setting section, and forms the image on normal paper when the finishing mode is set by said mode setting section;
- and
- a delivery control section for controlling, in correspondence with the mode set by said mode setting section, a delivery destination of the medium having the image formed by said image forming section, wherein said delivery control section controls the delivery destination of the cardboard paper having the image formed by said image forming section to a first delivery section corresponding to delivery of cardboard paper when the cardboard mode is set by said mode setting section, and controls the delivery destination of the normal paper having the image formed by said image forming section to a second delivery section corresponding to finishing processing when the finishing mode is set by said mode setting section.
An image forming apparatus comprising:
- a mode setting section for, when modes which cannot be simultaneously executed are simultaneously instructed, selecting and setting only a specific mode of a plurality of instructed modes, wherein when a plurality of modes are instructed, said mode setting section preferentially selects and sets a mode which is instructed first in the plurality of instructed modes;
- an image forming section for forming an image on a medium in correspondence with the mode set by said mode setting section;
- and
- a delivery control section for controlling, in correspondence with the mode set by said mode setting section, a delivery destination of the medium having the image formed by said image forming section.
An image forming apparatus comprising:
- a mode setting section for, when modes which cannot be simultaneously executed are simultaneously instructed, selecting and setting only a specific mode of a plurality of instructed modes, wherein when a plurality of modes are instructed, said mode setting section preferentially selects and sets a mode which is instructed last in the plurality of instructed modes;
- an image forming section for forming an image on a medium in correspondence with the mode set by said mode setting section;
- and
- a delivery control section for controlling, in correspondence with the mode set by said mode setting section, a delivery destination of the medium having the image formed by said image forming section.
