POST-PROCESSING APPARATUS AND IMAGE FORMING SYSTEM COMPRISING THE POST-PROCESSING APPARATUS

摘要

A post-processing apparatus which can respectively balance convenience of user using a manual stapling and convenience of user using an online stapling is provided. The finisher includes a stapler for performing predetermined post-processing on a sheet received and a control unit. The finisher also includes a stapler moving motor which moves the stapler to a position where first processing or second processing is performed. In the first processing, the predetermined post-processing is performed on a sheet which is conveyed from an image forming apparatus. In the second processing, the predetermined post-processing is performed on a sheet which is manually inserted.

主权项

1. A post-processing apparatus comprising:
a post-processing unit configured to perform predetermined post-processing on a sheet; a moving unit configured to move the post processing unit to a first processing position where first processing is performed or to a second processing position where second processing is performed, in the first processing, the predetermined post-processing is performed on a sheet which is conveyed from an image forming apparatus, and in the second processing, the predetermined post-processing is performed on a sheet which is manually inserted; and a control unit configured to control the post-processing unit to start moving after a difference in time between a first time period and a second time period is elapsed in a case where the first time period, which is a time period to next execution of the predetermined post-processing in the first processing, is greater than the second time period, which is a time period for the post-processing unit to move to the first processing position.
