Abstract
Disclosed is a sheet ejecting device. The sheet ejecting device includes a sheet stacking section; a bumping section; a sheet ejecting section; a mode selecting section; and a control section. The sheet ejecting section includes a pair of sheet clamping members which clamps one sheet or a plurality of overlapped sheets at a sheet clamping position and moves the one sheet or the plurality of overlapped sheets to a sheet stacking position in the sheet stacking section. The mode selecting section allows selection of an operation mode of the pair of sheet clamping members between a normal mode in which speed of the pair of sheet clamping members is a normal speed and a low speed mode in which a speed is lower than the normal speed.
Claims12
A sheet ejecting device comprising:
- a sheet stacking section which stacks a single ejected sheet or a plurality of ejected sheets which form a plurality of overlapped sheets;
- a bumping section which is bumped by a rear edge in a sheet ejecting direction of the sheet stacked on the sheet stacking section;
- a sheet ejecting section including a pair of sheet clamping members which clamp the single sheet or the plurality of overlapped sheets at a sheet clamping position and move the single sheet or the plurality of overlapped sheets to a sheet stacking position in the sheet stacking section;
- a moving section which moves the sheet clamping members from the sheet clamping position to the sheet stacking position;
- a mode selecting section which selects an operation mode of the moving section between a normal mode and a low speed mode, wherein an operation speed of the moving section is a normal speed in the normal mode and the operation speed al the moving section is lower than the normal speed in the low speed mode;
- and
- a control section configured to operate the moving section based on a selected result of the mode selecting section,
- wherein the mode selecting section selects the normal mode or the to speed mode based on whether the single sheet is ejected or the plurality of sheets are ejected.
