Abstract:
An image forming apparatus includes circuitry configured to receive a first print job and ejection-destination designating information designating one of a plurality of ejection destinations as an ejection destination of a first printed matter based on the first print job. The circuitry is configured to perform, based on the ejection-destination designating information, a determination of whether to eject the first printed matter to a previous ejection destination to which a second printed matter has been ejected based on a second print job received one before the first print job. The circuitry is configured to select the ejection destination of the first printed matter according to the determination.

Claim (Index 11):
An image forming system comprising:\n an image forming apparatus to distribute and eject a plurality of printed matters to one or more of a plurality of ejection destinations; and an information processing apparatus connected to the image forming apparatus through a network, the information processing apparatus including circuitry to generate ejection-destination designating information designating one of the plurality of ejection destinations as an ejection destination of a first printed matter based on a first print job, the image forming apparatus including circuitry configured to perform, based on the ejection-destination designating information, a determination of whether to eject the first printed matter to a previous ejection destination to which a second printed matter has been ejected based on a second print job received one before the first print job; and select the ejection destination of the first printed matter according to the determination.
