Abstract:
An image forming system includes an image forming apparatus and a postprocessing device. The image forming apparatus includes a first communication unit, a paper feeder, and a first control unit. The postprocessing device includes a second communication unit, a postprocessing unit, and a second control unit. The second control unit obtains a first time to perform the postprocessing and a second time to transition to a performable state configured to perform the postprocessing. The first control unit obtains attribute information necessary for the second control unit to obtain the first time and the second time. When the second communication unit receives the attribute information, the second control unit transmits information indicating the first time and the second time. The first control unit controls the operation of the paper feeder based on the information indicating the first time and the second time received by the first communication unit.

Claim (Index 2):
The image forming system according to  claim 1 , wherein:\n the first control unit causes the paper feeder to feed the first feeding sheet after the second time has passed from the reception of the information indicating the first time and the second time by the first communication unit; and the first control unit transmits the attribute information corresponding to a second feeding sheet to the second communication unit via the first communication unit after the first time has passed from the feeding of the first feeding sheet, the second feeding sheet being the sheet to be fed by the paper feeder next to the first feeding sheet.
