- a paper ejection tray for loading said sheets ejected from said processing tray after ending of said post process, wherein:
- said standby tray is formed so that a pair of tray members for loading said ejected sheets are projected from a wall face of said standby tray.
A sheet post-processing method of a sheet post-process apparatus including a pair of tray members formed so as to project from a wall face of a standby tray for making sheets ejected from an image forming apparatus stand by, comprising the steps of:
- detecting a curling direction of said sheets ejected and conveyed by said standby tray,
- setting said tray members upward when said sheets are curled downward,
- setting said tray members downward when said sheets are curled upward, and
