Abstract
An image forming system includes a first device and a second device that are connected in series. The first device can continuously discharge a paper. The second device is blocked from information on a paper conveyance in the first device. The second device, based on printing setting information and a time at which the first paper passes the predetermined position, sets a printing cycle, and based on a time at which the second paper passes the predetermined position, calculates a delay time from a printing cycle of the second paper. The second device stops a conveyance of the second paper that is conveyed to the paper processor, and in accordance with the delay time, controls resuming of the stopped conveyance of the second paper.
