Abstract
An image forming system includes an image forming apparatus, an insertion apparatus to insert an insertion sheet among plural sheets, and a charge eliminating apparatus having a charge eliminating unit. The insertion apparatus includes a first conveyance path through which a sheet discharged from the image forming apparatus is conveyed to the charge eliminating apparatus, a feeding tray on which the insertion sheet is stacked, and a second conveyance path through which the insertion sheet fed from the feeding tray is conveyed to the charge eliminating apparatus. In the charge eliminating apparatus, the charge eliminating unit performs charge elimination processing on the sheet discharged from the image forming apparatus and conveyed to the charge eliminating apparatus through the first conveyance path, but does not perform the charge elimination processing on the insertion sheet fed from the feeding tray and conveyed to the charge eliminating apparatus through the second conveyance path.
