An image forming apparatus is capable of connecting to a finisher which requires a warm-up process before use. The image forming apparatus comprises an input port which inputs warm-up information from the finisher, and a controller which controls the image forming apparatus to transport a set of sheets to the finisher regardless of the warm-up information. The set of sheets are subjected to a finishing operation carried out only after completing the warm-up process.
