Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
An image forming apparatus includes: a needleless binding device configured to form a recessed or raised impression as a needleless binding part by performing needleless binding on a bundle of sheets; an environment sensor; and a controller configured to perform, based on a value detected by the environment sensor, control to display a confirmation image requesting a user to make confirmation on the needleless binding prior to execution of the needleless binding.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. An image forming apparatus comprising: a needleless binding device configured to form a recessed or raised impression as a needleless binding part by performing needleless binding on a bundle of sheets; an environment sensor; and a controller configured to perform, based on a value detected by the environment sensor, control to display a confirmation image requesting a user to make confirmation on the needleless binding prior to execution of the needleless binding. 2. The image forming apparatus according to claim 1 , wherein the confirmation image includes a message to request making confirmation on at least one item affecting quality of the needleless binding part under a current environment. 3.
