Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2010/114150
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Provided is an image forming system comprising an image forming apparatus having therein a heating fixing unit and a host computer which instructs the image forming apparatus to print an image, or an image forming apparatus, a throughput of which is variable depending on the number of prints. The image forming apparatus has, in addition to a small size paper normal output mode, a small size paper high speed output mode in which when a small size paper having a width smaller than the maximum paper passable width of the image forming apparatus is printed, the paper can be output at a higher throughput than that in the small size paper normal output mode, and when the printing is complete, the image forming apparatus ceases for a predetermined period of time. The host computer has a mode selection unit (S3) which selects a desired mode from the small size paper high speed output mode and the small size paper normal output mode, and a control unit (S4) which transmits the mode selected by the mode selection unit to the image forming apparatus. The image forming apparatus is provided therein with a specification for varying the throughput depending on the number of the prints.
