Abstract
A sheet post-processing apparatus includes a post-processing main unit and an expansion unit. The expansion unit, into which a sheet having passed through the post-processing main unit is introduced, is removably mounted on the post-processing main unit. The post-processing main unit includes a switching guide that switches the conveyance direction of the sheet between a first direction leading to a main-unit discharge tray and a second direction leading to the expansion unit. The expansion unit includes a guide contact member that, when the expansion unit is mounted on the post-processing main unit, makes contact with the switching guide to switch the switching guide to a position for the second direction.
Claims7
A sheet post-processing apparatus comprising:
- a post-processing main unit that performs predetermined post-processing on a sheet and discharges the sheet to a main-unit discharge tray;
- and
- an expansion unit into which the sheet having passed through the post-processing main unit is introduced, the expansion unit being removably mounted on the post-processing main unit,
- wherein
- the post-processing main unit includes a switching guide that switches a conveyance direction of the sheet passing through the post-processing main unit between a first direction leading to the main-unit discharge tray and a second direction leading to the expansion unit, and
- the expansion unit includes a guide contact member that, when the expansion unit is mounted on the post-processing main unit, makes contact with the switching guide to switch the switching guide to a position for the second direction.
