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 2):
The image forming apparatus according to  claim 1 , further comprising,\n a post-processing device configured to process a portion corresponding to one of the upstream end and the downstream end designated by the binding position information in the plurality of sheets on which the plurality of divided images have been formed, the sheets having been sequentially conveyed by the conveying mechanism, wherein the condition information further includes post-processing information designating whether or not the post-processing device performs a process on a piece of printed matter, the image processing device is configured to specify the at least one dividing position and the dividing order according to the image formation rule for deriving the at least one dividing position and the dividing order in response to a combination of at least what are designated by the image direction information, the binding position information, and the post-processing information, the print processing device is configured to form the plurality of divided images in a range excluding a portion corresponding to the binding position information of the plurality of sheets, when the post-processing information designates for the process to be performed, and the post-processing device is configured to perform the process on the plurality of sheets on which the plurality of divided images have been formed, when the post-processing information designates for the process to be performed.
