Abstract
Sheets center-folded by a center-folder are placed on a main saddle. A buffer saddle is provided separately from the main saddle, on an opposite side of the center-folder across the main saddle. The pile of sheets saddle-stitched on the main saddle is placed on the buffer saddle. When viewed from above, the buffer saddle is movable in a direction separating from the main saddle that is a reverse direction to the center-folder, and in a direction orthogonal to the direction separating from the main saddle. A sheet processing device is arranged in the orthogonal direction where the buffer saddle is movable.
Claims6
A sheet processing device comprising:
- a first saddle on which sheets center-folded by a center-folder are to be placed;
- a second saddle that is provided separately from the first saddle, is disposed on a side of the first saddle that is opposite from the center-folder, allows a pile of sheets saddle-stitched on the first saddle to be placed thereon, and is movable in a direction separating from the first saddle that is a reverse direction to the center-folder and in a direction orthogonal to the direction separating from the first saddle, viewed from above;
- and
- a post processor that is arranged in the orthogonal direction where the second saddle is movable, and performs a post-processing on the pile of sheets.
