Abstract:
A condition acquiring device is for acquiring condition information including binding position information and image direction information. A dividing condition setting device is for specifying at least one dividing position and a dividing order of an original image, according to an image formation rule for deriving the at least one dividing position and the dividing order in response to a combination of what are designated by the image direction information and the binding position information. An image processing device is for dividing the original image at the at least one dividing position into a plurality of divided images. The print processing device is for forming the plurality of divided images respectively on a plurality of sheets sequentially conveyed by a conveying mechanism according to the dividing order.

Claim (Index 3):
The image forming apparatus according to  claim 1 , further comprising,\n two sheet storing portions configured to respectively store the plurality of sheets of a same size in different orientations, wherein the print processing device is configured to form an image on the plurality of sheets electrophotographically, the condition information further includes priority designating information for designating whether or not continuity of the plurality of divided images is prioritized over the binding position information, the image processing device is configured to specify the at least one dividing position, the dividing order, and an orientation of the sheet according to the image formation rule for deriving the at least one dividing position, the dividing order, and the orientation of the plurality of sheets from a combination of at least what are designated by the image direction information, the binding position information, and the priority designating information, and the conveying mechanism is configured to send out and convey the sheet from one of the two sheet storing portions corresponding to the orientation of the sheet specified according to the image formation rule.
