POST-PROCESSING APPARATUS, IMAGE FORMING SYSTEM, AND POST-PROCESSING METHOD

摘要

A post-processing apparatus includes a control unit for introducing a sheet onto an outside of a booklet saddle stitched by a saddle stitching unit so as to cover one or more binding needles before pressurizing a center portion of the saddle stitched booklet by a pressurization member, causing the pressurization member to perform pressurization processing through the sheet, and, after the pressurization processing, causing the booklet together with the sheet to be ejected to the ejection unit.

主权项

1. A post-processing apparatus comprising:
a conveyance unit for conveying paper conveyed from an image forming apparatus; a paper stacking unit for stacking a plurality of pieces of paper; a saddle stitching unit for saddle stitching a center portion of the plurality of pieces of paper stacked by the paper stacking unit by one or more binding needles to create a booklet; a pressurization unit provided with a pressurization member, the pressurization unit performing pressurization processing on the booklet by pressurizing the center portion of the booklet saddle stitched by the saddle stitching unit by the pressurization member; an ejection unit for ejecting the booklet subjected to the pressurization processing by the pressurization unit; and a control unit for introducing a sheet onto an outside of the saddle stitched booklet so as to cover the one or more binding needles before pressurizing by the pressurization member, causing the pressurization member to perform the pressurization processing through the sheet, and, after the pressurization processing, causing the booklet together with the sheet to be ejected to the ejection unit.
