Image forming system, system

Abstract

Adjust the cable length appropriately when wiring communication cables. [Solution] The image forming system 10 comprises a print module 110, a drying module 120, a fixing module 130, a cooling module 140, an inversion module 150, and paper output and stacking modules 160, 170, and 180. The communication cable 175 connecting the print module 110 and the paper output and stacking module 170, and the communication cable 185 connecting the print module 110 and the paper output and stacking module 180 are of the same length. The excess length of the communication cable 175 is adjusted within the housing of the paper output and stacking module 160 to correspond to the distance between the paper output and stacking module 170 and the paper output and stacking module 180.
