Abstract

The present invention includes a first post-processor equipped with a paper turn-over unit for paper and a paper surface processing unit adapted to process a paper surface of the paper; a second post-processor configured to be different from the first post-processor and located downstream of the first post-processor in a paper transport direction; and a controller adapted to control the first post-processor and the second post-processor, wherein the controller determines whether to use the paper turn-over unit, according to a combination of a post-processing mode which uses the first post-processor and a post-processing mode which uses the second post-processor.
