Abstract

An image forming system selects any one of plural image forming modes including a first mode, wherein an image forming process is performed such that plural images are arranged on an identical face of a sheet. The system performs the image forming process based on the selected image forming mode and inhibits a working process for the sheets on which the images have been formed When printing is performed for a postcard or the like, the system shortens a printing time necessary to print an output result desired by a user, obviates a user's erroneous operation, and prevents creating an unpurposed output matter.
