Image forming system and abnormal sheet information display method

1. An image forming system comprising:

a sheet feeder;

an image former that forms an image on a paper sheet;

a conveyor that conveys a paper sheet supplied from the sheet feeder to a sheet ejection destination via the image former;

a switcher that switches sheet ejection destinations;

a reader that optically reads a paper sheet being conveyed by the conveyor between the image former and the switcher, and outputs a read image;

an abnormal sheet detector that detects an abnormal paper sheet by analyzing the read image;

a storage;

a display; and

a hardware processor that performs: ejection destination switch control to control the switcher to eject an abnormal paper sheet detected by the abnormal sheet detector and a succeeding paper sheet following the abnormal paper sheet to a second ejection destination different from a regular ejection destination; storage control, for each of the abnormal paper sheet and the succeeding paper sheet ejected to the second ejection destination, to associate sheet information indicating whether a paper sheet is an abnormal paper sheet, the read image of the paper sheet, and a stacking order of the paper sheet at the second ejection destination with one another, and store the sheet information, the read image, and the stacking order into the storage; and display control to cause the display to display the sheet information, the stacking order, and the read image associated with one another and stored in the storage, the sheet information, the stacking order, and the read image being associated with one another on the display.

2. The image forming system according to claim 1 , wherein

the sheet information includes at least one of a sheet catch tray number, a date and time of sheet ejection, a job name, a page number, a cause of waste, and a sheet feed tray number.

3. The image forming system according to claim 1 , wherein,

in the display control, the sheet information, the stacking order, and the read image that are associated with one another are displayed, for a plurality of paper sheets, in one of a list format, a thumbnail format, and a page turning format.

4. The image forming system according to claim 1 , wherein

the second ejection destination is a sheet ejection destination that is determined beforehand as a sheet ejection destination of abnormal paper sheets and succeeding paper sheets.

5. The image forming system according to claim 1 , wherein,

in the storage control, for all paper sheets ejected to the second ejection destination, sheet information indicating whether a paper sheet is an abnormal paper sheet, a read image of the paper sheet, and a stacking order of the paper sheet at the second ejection destination are associated with one another, and are stored into the storage.

6. The image forming system according to claim 1 , further comprising

a removal detector that detects paper sheet removal from the second ejection destination,

wherein, when the removal detector detects paper sheet removal from the second ejection destination, and a predetermined second condition is satisfied, the hardware processor deletes information stored in the storage.

7. The image forming system according to claim 1 , wherein,

when paper sheets relating to a plurality of jobs have been ejected to the second ejection destination, the hardware processor is allowed to perform the display control on a job-by-job basis.

8. The image forming system according to claim 7 , wherein

the hardware processor determines whether to perform the display control on a job-by-job basis, in accordance with selection by a user.

9. The image forming system according to claim 1 , wherein,

when switching the second ejection destination to a plurality of sheet ejection destinations in the ejection destination switch control, the hardware processor performs the display control for each ejection destination.

10. The image forming system according to claim 1 , further comprising

a transmitter that transmits information stored in the storage in the storage control, to outside.

11. The image forming system according to claim 1 , further comprising

a fullness detector that detects that the second ejection destination is full,

wherein, when the fullness detector detects that the second ejection destination is full, the hardware processor starts the display control.

12. The image forming system according to claim 1 , wherein,

even when the image former is not forming an image, all succeeding paper sheets to be ejected to the second ejection destination are read by the reader.

13. An abnormal sheet information display method, comprising:

optically reading a paper sheet being conveyed with a reader on a downstream side of an image former, to acquire a read image;

detecting an abnormal paper sheet by analyzing the read image;

switching sheet ejection destinations on a downstream side of the reader, to eject the detected abnormal paper sheets and the succeeding paper sheet to a second ejection destination different from a regular ejection destination;

storing, into a storage, sheet information indicating whether a paper sheet is an abnormal paper sheet, a read image of the paper sheet, and a stacking order of the paper sheet at the second ejection destination, the sheet information, the read image, and the stacking order being associated with one another, the storing being performed for an abnormal paper sheet and succeeding paper sheets ejected to the second ejection destination; and

causing the display to display the sheet information, the stacking order, and the read image associated with one another and stored in the storage, the sheet information, the stacking order, and the read image being associated with one another on the display.
