Abstract
Above a processing tray, a standby tray for making sheets of paper P stand by is installed. The sheets of paper P on the standby tray are dropped, fed, and moved to the processing tray, thus the conveying path from the standby tray to the processing tray is shortened. The standby tray is given a tilt angle of θ1 and the consistency is improved by the own weight of the sheets. A first and a second paper ejection tray are given a tilt angle of θ2 and the consistency is improved by the own weight of the sheets or a sheet bundle.
Claims16
A sheet post-process apparatus comprising:
- a standby tray for making sheets ejected from an image forming apparatus stand by and having a tilt angle of θ1 at which front ends of said sheets are positioned higher than rear ends of said sheets,
- a processing tray arranged under said standby tray for loading said sheets dropped and fed from said standby tray and/or said sheets ejected from said image forming apparatus not via said standby tray,
- a processing mechanism for post-processing said sheets loaded on said processing tray, and
- a paper ejection tray for at least loading said sheets ejected from said processing tray after ending of said post process and having a tilt angle of θ2 at which said front ends of said sheets are positioned higher than said rear ends of said sheets.
A sheet post-process apparatus comprising:
- standby means for making sheets ejected from an image forming apparatus stand by and having a tilt angle of θ1 at which front ends of said sheets are positioned higher than rear ends of said sheets,
- loading means arranged under said standby means for loading said sheets dropped and fed from said standby means and/or said sheets ejected from said image forming apparatus not via said standby means,
- processing means for post-processing said sheets loaded on said loading means, and
- paper ejection means for at least loading said sheets ejected from said loading means after ending of said post process and having a tilt angle of θ2 at which said front ends of said sheets are positioned higher than said rear ends of said sheets.
