Abstract
A bookbinding apparatus which is capable of suppressing volatile components of an adhesive causing abnormal odor from leaking out of the bookbinding apparatus, to thereby reduce discomfort to nearby operators and an operator exchanging a deodorizing filter. The bookbinding apparatus 100 is connectable to an image forming apparatus 101 and carries out bookbinding by bonding a plurality of sheets outputted from the image forming apparatus 101 with the adhesive 300. An adhesive heater 302 heats the adhesive 300 and a temperature sensor 301 detects a temperature of the adhesive 300. An adhesive temperature controller 303 controls a heating temperature of the adhesive 300 by the adhesive heater 302, based on the temperature of the adhesive 300 detected by the temperature sensor 301 and a target temperature. When the adhesive temperature controller 303 receives an instruction from the image forming apparatus 101 to set the temperature of the adhesive 300 to a predetermined temperature that is lower than the target temperature, the adhesive temperature controller 303 controls the heating temperature of the adhesive 300 by the heating device 302, so that the temperature of the adhesive 300…
