<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a paper-post treatment device, which is mounted to an image forming device such as a printer, a copying machine, and a printing machine, and is detachable from the copying machine by blocking various modules functioning in the paper post-treatment, and user's arbitrary selection of each module device. <P>SOLUTION: An upper tray module 15, a mail box module 10, a finisher module 20, and a booklet module 16 are detachably mounted and connected with a paper sending back module 40. The paper sending back module 40 is detachably mounted to the copying machine 1. A control device for sensing possibility of detachment of each module and controlling execution of a function of each module is constituted to this paper sending back module 40. The control device constituted to the paper sending back module controls the function of each module by output signals of the copying machine in a manner to be selectively executed. Paper distributing means 40a, 40b constituted to the paper sending back module are constituted in a manner that paper can be branched in three or more directions by a pair of paper branching claws 350a, 350b. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2004,JPO |
