An apparatus for forming and sorting informational items comprises a folding unit, a conveyor belt, a camera, a controller, and a diverter assembly. The folding unit forms a folded article from a sheet of paper. The conveyor belt transports the folded article. The camera captures an image of the folded article as it passes by the camera. The controller receives and processes the image, and the diverter assembly causes the folded article to move off of the conveyor belt when the controller determines that the folded article fails to satisfy at least one predetermined criteria. 1. A method of forming and sorting informational items having product information printed thereon , the method comprising:folding a sheet of paper having product information printed thereon by making a plurality of folds in said sheet of paper to form a folded article;conveying the folded article on a conveyor belt passed the camera;capturing an image of the folded article with the camera as it passes on the conveyor belt;processing data retrieved from the image; anddetermining if the folded article satisfies at least on predetermined criteria based on the processed data.2. The method of claim 1 , further comprising detecting the presence of the folded article on the conveyor belt with a photosensor before capturing the image.3. The method of claim 2 , further comprising diverting the folded article off of the conveyor belt when it is determined that the folded article does not satisfy the at least one predetermined criteria.4. The method of claim 3 , wherein diverting the folded article comprises actuating a diverter assembly located down stream of the camera such that a diverter arm engages the folded article and causes the folded article to move off of the conveyor belt.5. The method of claim 1 , wherein determining if the folded article satisfies the at least one predetermined criteria comprises comparing the data retrieved from the image to target data stored in a memory device.6.

Provided is an image forming apparatus configured to form an image on a sheet. A case binding apparatus is configured to cut predetermined sides of a sheet bundle formed by binding a plurality of sheets to perform bookbinding. The case binding apparatus includes a cutting-waste box configured to collect cutting waste produced by the cutting and a cutting-waste full load detection sensor configured to detect a fully loaded state of the cutting-waste box with the cutting waste collected in the cutting-waste box. When the sheet onto which the image is to be formed is not a last sheet in the sheet bundle, the image forming apparatus does not interrupt image formation processing in response to the fully loaded state of the waste box detected by the detector when an order of the sheet in the sheet bundle is smaller than a predetermined order.
