Abstract:
A control device to control an image forming system having an image forming apparatus and a sheet discharge apparatus and includes a storage, a generator, and a controller. The storage stores sheet stacking information and taking out completion information. The generator generates a sheet bundle image representing a sheet bundle stacked on each of plural stacking trays based on the stored sheet stacking information. The controller combines the sheet bundle image with a system configuration image to display a combination on a display. The controller filters, from a list of processed image forming jobs, an image forming job for which sheets are not taken out to display the filtered image forming job on the display, and updates the sheet stacking information and the taking out completion information where the controller controls to determine that the sheet bundle stacked on any one of the plural stacking trays is taken out.

Claim (Index 12):
A method for a control device to control an image forming system having an image forming apparatus configured to form an image onto a sheet based on an image forming job, and a sheet discharge apparatus having a plurality of stacking trays onto which the sheet having the image formed thereon is to be stacked, the method comprising:\n storing, in a storage, sheet stacking information representing a stacking amount of sheets stacked on each of the plurality of stacking trays, and taking out completion information representing whether taking out of the sheets having the images formed thereon based on the image forming job is completed; and generating a sheet bundle image representing a sheet bundle stacked on each of the plurality of stacking trays based on the sheet stacking information stored in the storage, and combining the generated sheet bundle image with a system configuration image representing a configuration of the image forming system to display a result of combination on a display, wherein generating includes controlling to: filter, from a list of a plurality of processed image forming jobs, an image forming job for which sheets are not taken out based on the taking out completion information stored in the storage, to thereby display the filtered image forming job on the display, and update the sheet stacking information and the taking out completion information in a case where it is determined that the sheet bundle stacked on any one of the plurality of stacking trays is taken out.
