A method of controlling a printing system including a printing apparatus that prints an image on a sheet and a charge eliminating apparatus that performs a charge eliminating process on the sheet on which the image is printed includes measuring an amount of charge on the sheet that has undergone the charge eliminating process performed by the charge eliminating apparatus, and displaying a message prompting a user to change a setting for charge elimination to be performed by the charge eliminating apparatus in a case where the amount of charge on the sheet measured in the measuring does not fall within a predetermined range.

An image forming system includes: an image forming apparatus that forms an image on a recording medium; a relay transporter that transports the recording medium on which the image is formed by the image forming apparatus; a post-processing apparatus including a collecting container that collects a recording medium, the post-processing apparatus performing post-processing on the recording medium transported by the relay transporter; and at least one processor configured to stop transport of a recording medium when a paper jam occurs in the post-processing apparatus and, if a remaining recording medium is present in the relay transporter when the paper jam is cleared and the transport of the recording medium is restarted, cause the remaining recording medium to be collected by the collecting container.

A discharge device includes a body cover to which a discharge tray onto which a recording medium is discharged from an apparatus body, a post-processing device that post-processes the recording medium discharged from the apparatus body, or a transport member that transports the recording medium to the post-processing device is detachably attached, a detection member that detects the recording medium discharged onto the discharge tray at a protruding position where at least a part of the detection member protrudes from the body cover, and a support member that supports the detection member such that the detection member moves between the protruding position and a storage position where the detection member is stored inside the apparatus body.
