Abstract
Provided is an image forming system including a feed tray, a printer unit, a first post-processing unit that performs first post-processing accompanying at least a change in a sheet size, a second post-processing unit that performs second post-processing other than the first post-processing, and a control unit that controls setting and performing feeding, outputting, and the post-processing of the sheet. In a case where the first post-processing and the second post-processing are set, the control unit acquires a feeding sheet size of a sheet fed from the feed tray, calculates a sheet size after the first post-processing based on the acquired feeding sheet size, and determines whether the set post-processings can be performed based on the calculated sheet size and a sheet size that can be processed by the second post-processing.
