Abstract
A control portion of an image forming apparatus creates an image list for performing the perfect-binding imposition of the images of the pages on the sheets so that the scores formed on the sheets are on the external surface of the center-folded sheets, for the sheets each having a size twice the size specified as each of the sheets on which the images of the book body are to be formed, when a book-body stacking portion accommodates the sheets center-folded by a folding portion along scores formed for every sheet from a predetermined direction by a scoring portion for each of the sheets having the images formed thereon by the image forming portion, and a bookbinding portion uses a glue-on cover to perform case binding of a bundle of the sheets glued to the side of the spine.

An image forming apparatus comprising:
- an image forming portion configured to form images on sheets, in accordance with an image list defining order of the images of pages to be formed on the sheets of a case-bound booklet so that the sheets are bound in order of the pages;
- and
- a control portion configured to create the image list for performing the perfect-binding imposition of the images of the pages on the sheets so that the scores formed on the sheets are on the external surface of the center-folded sheets, for the sheets each having a size twice the size specified as each of the sheets on which the images of the book body are to be formed, in a case where a book-body stacking portion accommodates the sheets center-folded by a folding portion along scores formed for every sheet from a predetermined direction by a scoring portion on one side of each of the sheets having the images formed thereon by the image forming portion, and a bookbinding portion uses a glue-on cover to thereby perform case binding of a bundle of the sheets glued to a side of a spine.
A computer-readable recording medium storing a program comprising the steps of:
- forming images on sheets, by an image forming portion included in an image forming apparatus, in accordance with an image list defining order of the images of pages to be formed on the sheets of a case-bound booklet so that the sheets are bound in order of the pages;
- and
- creating, by a control portion, the image list for performing the perfect-binding imposition of the images of the pages on the sheets so that the scores formed on the sheets are on the external surface of the center-folded sheets, for the sheets each having a size twice the size specified as each of the sheets on which the images of the book body are to be formed, in a case where a book-body stacking portion accommodates the sheets center-folded by a folding portion along scores formed for every sheet from a predetermined direction by a scoring portion for each of the sheets having the images formed thereon by the image forming portion, and a bookbinding portion uses a glue-on cover to thereby perform case binding of a bundle of the sheets glued to a side of a spine.
