Abstract
According to one embodiment, a sheet processing device includes a jogger fence configured to carry out a crosswise direction alignment to a stack of image formed sheets ejected from an image forming apparatus, a rear end fence acting as a lengthwise reference edge, a stapling device configured to staple the aligned sheet stack, a discharge belt configured to move the stapled sheet stack to a sheet ejection tray, and a controller to control movement of the jogger fence during the sheet stack being moved by the discharge belt so as to move the jogger fence more than once between a position where the jogger fence does not contact the edge of the sheet stack and a position where the jogger fence pressing contact the edge of the sheet stack.
Claims12
A sheet processing device comprising:
- a jogger fence configured to carry out a crosswise direction alignment of a sheet stack of sheets ejected from an image forming apparatus;
- a stapling device configured to staple the aligned sheet stack;
- a discharge belt configured to move the stapled sheet stack to a sheet ejection tray;
- and
- a controller configured to control movement of the jogger fence while the sheet stack is moved by the discharge belt to the sheet ejection tray to move the jogger fence more than once between a position where the jogger fence does not contact the edge of the sheet stack and a position where the jogger fence contacts the edge of the sheet stack,
- wherein a number of times of the crosswise direction alignment carried out by the jogger fence is different depending on whether the stapling of the stapling apparatus is one-place stapling or two-place stapling.
A sheet processing device comprising:
- a processing tray onto which sheets are loaded to form a sheet stack;
- a crosswise direction alignment plate configured to carry out crosswise direction alignment of the sheet stack;
- a rear end fence acting as a lengthwise reference edge of the sheet stack;
- a stapling device configured to staple the aligned sheet stack;
- a discharge belt configured to move the stapled sheet stack to a sheet ejection tray;
- and
- a deforming member configured to deform the processing tray at the time of discharging the sheet stack.
