Abstract:
1. A control device for controlling a trimming position and/or a printing position, comprising: a printing unit adapted to print two images on each of a plurality of sheets based on image data; a folding processing unit adapted to perform folding processing on a sheet bundle including the plurality of sheets; a working unit adapted to perform working processing for forming a flat surface on a back of the sheet bundle on which the folding processing is performed; a trimming unit adapted to perform trimming processing for trimming an end of the sheet bundle; a setting unit adapted to set a trimming amount of the end of the sheet bundle to be trimmed by the trimming unit based on an instruction of an operator and/or when the printing unit prints two images on one side of each of the plurality of sheets, to set an arranging space of the two images based on an instruction of an operator; and a control unit adapted to control the trimming unit to trim the end of the sheet bundle by the trimming amount set by the setting unit and/or to control the printing unit to print the two images with the set arranging space, wherein, in a case where the trimming unit sets a trimming amount, the setting unit sets a minimum value of the trimming amount, the minimum value of the trimming amount being set to a first trimming amount in a case where the trimming processing is performed without the working processing being performed after the folding processing has been performed, and the minimum value of the trimming amount being set to a second trimming amount which is greater than the first trimming amount in a case where the trimming processing is performed with the working processing being performed after the folding processing has been performed; and wherein, in a case where the setting unit sets an arranging space, the setting unit sets a lower limit of the arranging space, the lower limit of the arranging space being set to a first arranging space in a case where the working processing is not performed on the sheet bundle on which is performed the folding processing, and the lower limit of the arranging space being set to a second arranging space which is greater than the first arranging space in a case where the working processing is performed on the sheet bundle on which is performed the folding processing.
