Abstract
An image forming system includes an image forming unit, a sheet folding unit, a sheet discharge tray, and a control unit. For the print job in which a first sheet bundle and a second sheet bundle are discharged onto the sheet discharge tray, the control unit is configured to selectively execute a first image forming mode or a second image forming mode. The first image forming mode is a mode in which a page order is controlled in such a manner that page numbers of sheets included in the second sheet bundle are larger than page numbers of sheets included in the first sheet bundle. The second image forming mode is a mode in which a page order is controlled in such a manner that page numbers of sheets included in the first sheet bundle are larger than page numbers of sheets included in the second sheet bundle.
