Abstract:
1. An image forming system, comprising: an image forming device having an image forming section that forms an image on a recording medium based on image information and ejects the recording medium; a post-processing device that performs post-processing on the ejected recording medium, the post-processing device having a sheet feeding section to load the recording medium; a power switching device to turn on power to the image forming system; a post-processing operation setting device for setting a post-processing dedicated mode to execute the post-processing on the recording medium loaded on the sheet feeding section at an initial turning on power to the image forming system; a controller that executes startup operation for setting only the post-processing device into an operable state and prohibits startup operation of the image forming section of the image forming device when power has been turned on via the power switching device and the controller has detected that the post-processing dedicated mode has been set via the post-processing operation setting device; and a display unit that, at the initial turning on power to the image forming system, allows setting of a startup mode for startup of the image forming device and the post-processing device into an operable state, with a selection from a plurality of startup modes, and setting of a startup setting confirmation mode for confirmation of the startup mode having been set.
