Abstract
An image forming system includes a first supplying unit, a second supplying unit, an image forming unit, a stacking unit, first and second binding units, an obtaining unit, and a controller. The image forming unit forms images on recording materials supplied from the first or second supplying unit. The stacking unit is for stacking, as a bundle, the recording materials having the images formed thereon. The first binding unit binds, by a first binding operation, first edge portions of the bundle. The second binding unit binds, by a second binding operation, second edge portions of the bundle. The obtaining unit obtains an instruction regarding binding positions of the first and second binding operations with respect to the bundle. The controller performs control to supply the recording materials from the first or second supplying unit, on the basis of the binding positions of the first and second binding operations.
