PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide an after-treatment mechanism of an image forming device capable of loading paper bundles bound at the same position without being displaced from each other when the paper bundles are delivered to a paper delivery tray and loaded, enabling the loaded paper bundles to be stably aligned irrespective of the thicknesses of the paper bundles, capable of forming easily separable loaded paper bundles also in a later distribution operation, and capable of also coping with both face up and face down paper delivery systems. SOLUTION: This after-treatment mechanism of the image forming device comprises a binding means 14 arranging and binding the paper bundles 15 formed of multiple sheets of transfer paper delivered from an image forming part and a carrying means delivering the transfer paper 5 to a paper delivery tray 8. The mechanism also comprises an inverse mechanism inverting the transfer paper upside down and delivering it for each paper bundle 15 following the delivery of paper by the carrying means and a displacement mechanism displacing, according to the inversion of the transfer paper upside down, the binding position of the paper bundles by the binding means 14 in a direction crossing perpendicularly to the carrying direction without changing the binding position in the carrying direction.
