Abstract
To provide a post-processor capable of executing alignment processing with high accuracy. Configuring a post-processor including: a recording material loader on which a recording material conveyed through a conveyance path is loaded; an aligner that aligns the recording material in the recording material loader; a driver that moves the aligner; and a controller that receives information of a physical property value of the recording material acquired by a medium sensor and determines an operation parameter of alignment processing that drives the driver based on the information of the physical property value.
Claims18
A post-processor comprising:
- a recording material loader on which a recording material conveyed through a conveyance path is loaded;
- an aligner that aligns the recording material in the recording material loader;
- a driver that moves the aligner;
- and
- a controller that receives information of a physical property value of the recording material acquired by a medium sensor and determines an alignment condition of alignment processing that drives the driver based on the information of the physical property value, wherein the controller determines the alignment condition based on a history of the alignment condition.
An image forming system including an image forming apparatus and a post-processor, comprising:
- an image former that forms an image on a recording material and is provided in the image forming apparatus;
- a recording material loader on which the recording material conveyed from the image former through a conveyance path is loaded and that is provided in the post-processor;
- an aligner that aligns at least one end of leading and trailing ends in a direction parallel to a conveyance direction of the recording material and side ends in a direction orthogonal to the conveyance direction in the recording material loader and is provided in the post-processor;
- a driver that moves the aligner and is provided in the post-processor;
- a medium sensor that acquires a physical property value of the recording material and is provided in at least one of the image forming apparatus and the post-processor;
- and
- a controller that determines an alignment condition of alignment processing that drives the driver based on information of the physical property value of the recording material acquired by the medium sensor, wherein the controller determines the alignment condition based on a history of the alignment condition.
