A bookbinding device includes a control unit for calculating set parameter values for a clamper and a processing unit on the basis of thickness on a book body to be bound, and initially setting the clamper and the processing unit in accordance with the set parameter values. The control unit includes an input unit for receiving an input of a reference parameter value for two or more different book body thicknesses; a function generation unit for generating, on the basis of the reference parameter value, a function for calculating a set parameter value that has been adjusted in accordance with the book body thickness; a parameter calculation unit for calculating, on the basis of the book body thickness, the set adjusted parameter value by using the function; and an initial setting unit for initially setting the clamper and the processing unit in accordance with the set adjusted parameter value.

A sheet conveyance relay unit, including: a convergence unit, including: a convergence section to converge sheet conveyance paths of plural sheet receiving sections; and a first common sheet-conveyance section, which conveys the recording sheets from the convergence section to a sheet feeding outlet; a divergence unit, including: a second common sheet-conveyance section, which conveys the recording sheets conveyed from the convergence unit; plural sheet feed-out sections, which are combined to plural post-finishing apparatuses; and a divergence section, which sorts the recording sheets conveyed by the second common sheet-conveyance section, onto the plural sheet feed-out sections; and a control section which receives job information having been set, and selects an image forming apparatus to be used for a job among the image forming apparatuses and a post-finishing apparatus to be used for the job among the plural post-finishing apparatuses, whereby the control section conducts the job having been set.
摘要:
First document/image data is printed onto a sequence of sheets that includes sheets of a given size, and sheet(s) of a size that in at least one dimension is larger than the sheets of the given size. At the same time the first document/image data is being printed, second document/image data, i.e., foldout data, is printed onto the outer margin, i.e., a foldout portion, of the sheet(s) of the larger size. The larger-size, foldout sheet(s) is then folded so as to be creased near its overlap with the given-size sheets, and is collated into the sequence of the given-size sheets to form a bundle that is then bound. Thereafter trimming to size the non-bound edge(s) of the bundle slices away the crease in the foldout sheet, leaving the foldout cut-away as an insert tucked into the booklet.

An image forming system includes an image forming apparatus and a post-processing apparatus that performs post-processing on sheets discharged from the image forming apparatus. The image forming system includes a feeding unit configured to store a plurality of sheets and successively feed the sheets; a stack unit configured to stack sheets processed by the post-processing apparatus; a state detection unit configured to detect a predetermined state of the stack unit; and a control unit configured to restrict the number of sheets fed from the feeding unit so that the number of sheets existing in a sheet conveyance path extending from the feeding unit to the stack unit does not exceed a predetermined number. The predetermined number is the number of sheets that the post-processing apparatus can receive from the image forming apparatus after detection of the predetermined state by the state detection unit.

A book-binding apparatus in which adhesive is used for binding a book includes a tank to store an adhesive which is heat-melted, a heater to heat the tank, a first temperature sensor mounted in the tank, a first controller to control the temperature based on a temperature detected by the first temperature sensor, wherein the first controller controls the heater so as to make the temperature of the adhesive in the tank to be a predetermined temperature, a second temperature sensor mounted adjacent to a top level of a melted adhesive, an adhesive transporting section to transport the adhesive to the tank, and a second temperature controller to control the adhesive transporting section to transport the adhesive to the tank based on a shape of a book, when the temperature detected by the second temperature sensor is equal to or lower than a set temperature.
摘要:
An image forming system includes a printing unit which prints an image on a recording sheet and a wrap bookbinding unit which performs wrap bookbinding of a batch of recording sheets including a plurality of document sheets on which images are printed by the printing unit. In the image forming system, a thickness detection unit detects a thickness of the batch of recording sheets. A wrap bookbinding control unit causes, when the detected thickness of the batch of recording sheets exceeds a thickness threshold value, the wrap bookbinding unit to perform wrap bookbinding to create two or more volumes. A relevant information printing control unit causes the printing unit to print an image of relevant information, indicating a relationship of the two or more volumes, on a cover sheet used to wrap each volume.

A bookbinding apparatus includes a collecting device, a bookbinding path, a bundle conveying device for transferring the sheet bundle to a paste applying position and then to a cover binding position, a paste applying device for applying an adhesive to a spine part of the sheet bundle, and a cover feeding path. A cover binding device binds the sheet bundle with the adhesive to the cover sheet, and a cover binding control device controls the cover binding device. The cover binding device includes a back folding press member and a back abutting plate member. The cover sheet is sandwiched between the back abutting plate member and the spine part of the sheet bundle with a small gap between the back abutting plate member and the spine part. The cover binding control device adjusts a size of the gap depending on a thickness of the cover sheet when folded back.
