Abstract:
The present invention provides a post process control apparatus including a post processing unit configured to perform post processing on a printed sheet printed in accordance with a job, and a method for controlling the same, where the post process control apparatus and the method of controlling the same obtain a number of sheets in one copy of printed sheets instructed by the job, control the post processing unit to, if the obtained number of sheets in one copy is singular, execute the post processing in one batch on printed sheets corresponding to a plurality of copies, and to control the post processing unit to, if the obtained number of sheets in one copy is plural, execute the post processing individually by printed sheets corresponding to one copy.

Claim (Index 12):
An image processing apparatus comprising:\n a receiver that receives an instruction for instructing to start an image forming job that designates plural copies; an image forming unit that forms an image on a sheet based on the image forming job; a folding processor that performs a folding processing on sheets conveyed from the image forming unit; and a controller that obtains a number of sheets per one copy by analyzing the image forming job, wherein, in a case that the number of sheets per one copy is equal to or more than two, the controller controls the folding processor to fold separately each copy of sheets of the sheets formed by the image forming job, and in a case that the number of sheets per one copy is one, the controller controls the folding processor to collectively fold the plural copies of sheets of the sheets formed by the image forming job.
