20100007070 | SHEET PROCESSING APPARATUS, SHEET PROCESSING METHOD AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - According to one embodiment, a sheet processing apparatus includes a first supporting member which supports a sheet and drops the sheet, a second supporting member which supports the sheet dropped from the first supporting member, a stacking member which stacks sheets, a first discharge member which discharges sheet from the first supporting member to the stacking member, a second discharge member which discharges the sheet on the second supporting member to the stacking member and a control unit. The control unit controls the first discharge member to discharge the sheet one by one from the first supporting member to the stacking member or to drop the sheet to the second supporting member on the basis of a threshold value or a predetermined value different from the threshold value. | 01-14-2010 |
20110062647 | Sheet Processing Apparatus and a Sheet Processing Method - According to an embodiment, a sheet processing apparatus includes: a processing tray on which a sheet conveyed from an image forming apparatus is placed; a lateral alignment unit which has a pair of movable alignment boards, holds and the sheet on the processing tray between the pair of alignment boards, and aligns the sheet; a stapler which staples the sheet placed on the processing tray; a sheet discharge unit which discharges the stapled sheet from the processing tray to a discharge port; and a control unit which control so that the sheet is stapled after an operation of holding the sheet between the pair of alignment boards and then opening the alignment boards is performed plural times, when the sheet is inserted to the stapler from the discharge port and manually stapled. | 03-17-2011 |
20130062825 | SHEET FINISHING APPARATUS AND SHEET FINISHING METHOD - According to one embodiment, a sheet finishing apparatus includes a finishing section configured to apply finishing to a sheet placed on a processing tray, a sheet discharging section configured to discharge the sheet subjected to the finishing to a stack tray via a discharge port, a roller attached to a shaft provided in parallel to the discharge port and which rotate in a first direction for guiding the sheet in the direction of the finishing section and a second direction for discharging the sheet, and an arm attached to the shaft to extend in the centrifuging direction from the shaft, rotate with the torque of the shaft, and idly rotate when force for regulating the torque acts. The arm flaps down the trailing end of the sheet on the stack tray onto the stack tray. | 03-14-2013 |
