Abstract
There are provided a sheet inlet, a saddle-stitch compilation tray for aligning and accommodating plural sheets that are input through the sheet inlet, and a rotary cutter unit for cutting a saddle-stitched sheaf of sheets accommodated in the saddle-stitch compilation tray. In the rotary cutter unit, a sheaf of sheets is cut by moving a circular blade in a direction perpendicular to a sheet transport direction of a sheet transport path from one end in the direction perpendicular to the sheet transport direction. Different sheaves of sheets may be cut by a go-movement and a return-movement of the circular blade.
Claims22
A sheet processing apparatus for processing sheets on which images have been formed by an image forming apparatus, comprising:
- a sheet accepting unit that accepts sheets from the image forming apparatus;
- a cutting unit that cuts the sheets accepted by the sheet accepting unit with a blade that is moved parallel with sheet surfaces;
- and
- a recognizing unit that recognizes information relating to the sheets to be cut by the cutting unit,
- wherein the cutting unit determines a condition of cutting of the sheets on the basis of the information relating the sheets that has been recognized by the recognizing unit.
A sheet processing apparatus for processing sheets on which images have been formed by an image forming apparatus, comprising:
- a sheet accepting unit that accepts sheets that are output from the image forming apparatus;
- a sheaf-of-sheets forming unit that forms a sheaf of sheets by aligning the plural sheets accepted by the sheet accepting unit;
- and
- a cutting unit that cuts the sheaf of sheets formed by the sheaf-of-sheets forming unit,
- wherein the cutting unit cuts the sheaf of sheets under a cutting condition that is determined on the basis of a power state of the sheet processing apparatus and/or the image forming apparatus.
A sheet processing apparatus for processing sheets on which images have been formed by an image forming apparatus, comprising:
- a sheet accepting unit that accepts sheets that are output from the image forming apparatus;
- a sheaf-of-sheets forming unit that forms a sheaf of sheets by aligning the plural sheets accepted by the sheet accepting unit;
- a cutting unit that cuts the sheaf of sheets formed by the sheaf-of-sheets forming unit;
- and
- a recognizing unit that recognizes a request from a user that relates to cutting quality of the cutting unit,
- wherein the cutting unit sets a low operation speed for cutting when the recognizing unit recognizes occurrence of a quality priority request.
A sheet processing apparatus for processing sheets on which images have been formed by an image forming apparatus, comprising:
- a sheet accepting unit that accepts sheets that are output from the image forming apparatus;
- a sheaf-of-sheets forming unit that forms a sheaf of sheets by aligning the plural sheets accepted by the sheet accepting unit;
- and
- a cutting unit that cuts the sheaf of sheets formed by the sheaf-of-sheets forming unit,
- wherein the cutting unit reciprocates a blade from a prescribed position in such a manner as to cut the sheaf of sheets by a go-movement and to return the blade to the prescribed position by a return movement, and waits for input of a next sheaf of sheets, and wherein the cutting unit sets different moving speeds of the blade for the go-movement and the return movement.
A sheet processing apparatus comprising:
- a sheet inlet;
- a compilation tray that accommodates, in a flushed manner, the plural sheets that are input through the sheet inlet;
- and
- a cutter unit that cuts a saddle-stitched sheaf of sheets that is accommodated in the compilation tray by moving a blade in a direction perpendicular to a sheet transport direction on a sheet transport path from one end in the direction perpendicular to the sheet transport direction in such a manner as to cut different sheaves of sheets by a go-movement and a return-movement of the blade.
A sheet processing apparatus which binds the plural sheets that are output from an image forming apparatus and performs a cutting operation on a resulting sheaf of sheets using a prescribed cutter, comprising:
- a moving speed determining unit that determines a moving speed of the cutter;
- and
- a processing time calculating unit that calculates a processing time of the cutting operation on the basis of the moving speed determined by the moving speed determining unit.
