Sheet processing device and sheet manufacturing apparatus

Abstract

Provided are a sheet processing device and a sheet manufacturing apparatus capable of accurately processing by a processor at least the printed area of a sheet without excess or deficiency. The sheet processing device has: a conveyor configured to convey a sheet having a printed area that was previously printed; a position detector configured to detect a location of a specific part of the sheet being conveyed by the conveyor; a processor configured to execute a specific process on at least the printed area; a timing predictor configured to predict, based on a detection result from the position detector, the timing when the printed area will reach the processor; and a controller configured to control operation of the processor based on a prediction result of the timing predictor.

Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
