Estimating the term…
An image forming apparatus which enables the user to easily remove a sheet bundle left in the apparatus after a bookbinding-mode job is stopped in the middle of execution thereof. In a bookbinding mode of the apparatus, in a sheet stacking section, a plurality of sheets having images formed thereon are stacked as a sheet bundle; in a gluing section, glue is applied to an end face of the sheet bundle; and in a bonding section, a cover sheet is bonded to the sheet bundle to wrap the sheet bundle in the cover sheet. When a bookbinding-mode job is canceled during execution thereof, in the gluing section, glue is applied to the sheet bundle stacked in the stacking section before the job is stopped, and a discharge section discharges the glue-applied sheet bundle which is neither wrapped nor trimmed.
An image forming apparatus provided with a bookbinding mode for forming images on a plurality of sheets and binding the sheets having the images formed thereon into a book, comprising:
A sheet processing apparatus that is connected to an image forming apparatus for forming images on sheets, and binds a plurality of sheets having images formed thereon by the image forming apparatus into a book, comprising:
A method of controlling an image forming apparatus provided with a bookbinding mode for forming images on a plurality of sheets and binding the sheets having the images formed thereon into a book, having a sheet stacking device that stacks a plurality of sheets as one set of sheet bundle, a gluing device that applies glue to an end face of the sheet bundle stacked on the sheet stacking device, and a discharge device that discharges the glue-applied sheet bundle from the sheet processing apparatus, comprising:
A method of controlling a sheet processing apparatus that is connected to an image forming apparatus for forming images on sheets, and binds a plurality of sheets having images formed thereon by the image forming apparatus into a book, having a sheet stacking device that stacks a plurality of sheets as one set of sheet bundle, a gluing device that applies glue to an end face of the sheet bundle stacked on the sheet stacking device, and a discharge device that discharges the glue-applied sheet bundle from the sheet processing apparatus, comprising:
