Abstract
A sheet processing system A includes a sheet processing apparatus 1 that transports and stores a sheet in one of short-edge leading orientation and long-edge leading orientation; a sheet housing section 3 that stores the sheet in the other of the short-edge leading orientation and the long-edge leading orientation; and an orientation changing section 4 that transports the sheet between the sheet processing apparatus 1 and the sheet housing section 3, changes transport orientation of the sheets which is being transported between the short-edge leading orientation and the long-edge leading orientation.
Claims16
A sheet processing apparatus comprising:
- a transport section that transports a sheet in a first orientation, the first orientation being one of short-edge leading orientation and long-edge leading orientation;
- a mount to which a sheet housing section storing a sheet is to be detachably attached, the sheet being supplied to the sheet housing section in a second orientation, the second orientation being one of the short-edge leading orientation and the long-edge leading orientation, and being different from the first orientation;
- and
- an orientation changing section configured to change transport orientation of the sheet from the first orientation to the second orientation and transport the sheet to the sheet housing section when the orientation changing section receives the sheet from the transport section, and configured to change transport orientation of the sheet from the second orientation to the first orientation and transport the sheet to the transport section when the orientation changing section receives the sheet from the sheet housing section.
A sheet processing system comprising:
- a first sheet processing apparatus that comprises a transport section configured to transports a sheet in a first orientation, the first orientation being one of short-edge leading orientation and long-edge leading orientation;
- a second sheet processing apparatus that transports a sheet in a second orientation, the second orientation being one of the short-edge leading orientation and the long-edge leading orientation, and being different from the first orientation, and stores the transported sheet in the second orientation;
- and
- a sheet housing section that stores a sheet, the sheet being supplied to the sheet housing section in the second orientation, wherein the sheet housing section is used for transferring the sheet between the first sheet processing apparatus and the second sheet processing apparatus,
- wherein the first sheet processing apparatus comprises:
- an orientation changing section configured to change transport orientation of the sheet from the first orientation to the second orientation and transport the sheet to the sheet housing section when the orientation changing section receives the sheet from the transport section, and configured to change transport orientation of the sheet from the second orientation to the first orientation and transport the sheet to the transport section when the orientation changing section receives the sheet from the sheet housing section.
