<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an inserter for achieving high productivity required for POD. <P>SOLUTION: This inserter includes sheet storing units (42-45) for storing insert sheets, a paper feeding unit (42a-45a) for feeding insert sheets stored in the sheet storing units. The inserter also includes a sheet conveyance unit (49) for conveying record sheets discharged from an image forming device and the insert sheets fed from the paper feeding unit to a downstream device disposed on the downstream side of a conveyance passage. The inserter also includes a conveying speed control unit (317) for controlling the conveying speed of the record sheets and insert sheets conveyed by the sheet conveyance unit. The conveying speed control unit sets the conveying speed in conveying the insert sheets to the downstream device based on the conveying speed of the record sheet conveyed to the downstream device immediately before or after the insert sheets. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT</p> |
