Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To attain ease of sorting by outputting a 1st received original longer than received originals to be outputted thereafter by a header in the case that the 1st page of a received original is assumed to have the header. SOLUTION: When more than two pages of an original are received whether or not the 1st page of the received original has a header is judged/based on 'header presence information' in an NSS signal. When the 'header pressure iunformation' indicates the presence of the leader, the image forming device adds a dot line flow between the 1st document and the 2nd document and prints out them continuously without cutting off the 1st and 2nd pages of the original.
