Abstract:
An image forming apparatus includes a main body and a post-processing device. The main body includes an operation panel and a first controller that switches an action mode to a first action mode or a second action mode. The post-processing device includes an operation receiving section and a second controller. The operation receiving section receives an operation by a user and outputs an operation signal. The operation receiving section is in an unreachable position for the user when operating the operation panel. The first controller switches the action mode upon determining that an operation indicated by the operation signal received through the second controller matches a predetermined operation. The second controller controls action of the post-processing device independent of control by the first controller in the second action mode.

Claim (Index 5):
The image forming apparatus according to  claim 4 , wherein\n the operation key section further includes a second operation key which differs from the first operation key, the second controller, upon receiving a second key press signal indicating that the second operation key is pressed, transmits the second key press signal to the first controller when the action mode is the first action mode, the first controller switches a setting related to the post-processing upon receiving the second key press signal, and the second controller switches a target of test driving from the driving section to another driving section included in the post-processing device upon receiving the second key press signal when the action mode is the second action mode.
