Abstract
An adhesive application apparatus sets a dot pattern such that an amount of paste applied to an area on the reverse side of an area on which an image is formed and an amount of paste applied to an area on the reverse side of an area on which the image is not formed are different from each other, and controls a paste discharge head so that the dot pattern having been set is formed on an adhesion surface of paper. Through this, the amount of paste applied to paper can be changed between an area where an image is formed and an area where the image is not formed, thereby making it possible to apply the paste to paper more appropriately in accordance with the state of image formation.
