A sheet binding processing apparatus includes a binding device which performs a binding process on a sheet bundle stacked on a stacking unit and a sheet bundle set at a manual setting portion, the stacking unit stacking introduced sheets, a sheet bundle being set to the manual setting portion from an outside; a moving portion which moves the binding device to a first binding position for performing the binding process on a sheet bundle stacked on the stacking unit and a second binding position for performing the binding process on a sheet bundle set at the manual setting portion; and a controller which causes the binding device, in a case that the binding process is not performed on a sheet bundle stacked on the stacking unit, to wait due to the moving portion at a position different from the first binding position.

Sheet binding processing apparatus and image forming system having the same

The purpose of the present invention is to provide a sheet binding processing apparatus capable of promptly performing a binding process for binding a sheet bundle set at a manual setting portion and a sheet bundle set at a processing tray. The present invention comprises a sheet binding processing apparatus including a processing tray on which introduced sheets are stacked into a bundle shape, a manual tray at which a sheet bundle is set from the outside of the apparatus, a binding device which performs a binding process on the sheet bundle stacked on the processing tray and the sheet bundle set at the manual tray, a moving portion which moves the binding device to a first binding position for performing the binding process on the sheet bundle stacked on the processing tray and a second binding position for performing the binding process on the sheet bundle set at the manual tray, and a controller which causes the binding device, in a case that the binding process is not performed on the sheet bundle stacked on the processing tray, to wait due to the moving portion at the second binding position side as being at the outside of a sheet introducing area where sheets are introduced to the processing tray.

A method of a sheet alignment includes carrying a sheet from a sheet discharging port; transferring the sheet on a tray device toward a sheet end regulating device; moving the sheet on the tray device in a width direction orthogonal to the sheet discharging direction for widthwise alignment; and abutting again the sheet on the tray device against the sheet end regulating device while the sheet is in the widthwise alignment. When the sheet on the tray device is transferred toward the sheet end regulating device, the sheet is transferred at a predetermined speed. Before the sheet abuts against the sheet end regulating device, the speed is reduced to provide a conveying force to the sheet without stopping. While the conveying force is continuously applied to the sheet, the sheet is aligned in the width direction to thereby prevent skewing of the sheet relative to the sheet end regulating device.

Method of sheet alignment and method of post-processing comprising the same and method of image formation

An original feeding apparatus includes a feeder tray for stacking originals, a separating device for separating the originals into a single sheet, and a feeding device for feeding the original to the separating device. The feeding device is raised or lowered between a feeding position where the feeding device contacts an uppermost original stacked on the feeder tray, and a retracted position where the feeding device is separated from the uppermost original. A drive device and a control device are disposed for raising and lowering the feeding device. The control device adjusts a rotating speed of the drive device for raising and lowering the feeding device according to a reading mode, so that the feeding device is lowered at a different speed to touch the uppermost original.

A control device includes a connecting device for connecting an external memory medium; and a non-volatile memory device having at least one memory region in which data can be electrically rewritten. The memory device includes a first memory region for storing control program data; a second memory region for storing connection judgment program data; and a third memory region for storing writing program data. The connection judgment program is executed to determine whether the external memory medium is connected. The writing program is executed to rewrite the control program data stored in the first memory region with external memory medium data stored in the external memory medium.

Control device including connecting device for rewriting memory region

A sheet feeder apparatus is controlled for sequentially feeding sheets to a predetermined processing position. A detection signal of a sheet stacked in a rise and lower tray located at a lower limit position is received before receiving a feed signal to start feeding of the sheet. Upon receiving the feed signal to start feeding of the sheet, the rise and lower tray is moved from the lower limit position to an upper limit position, and the sheet is supplied.

Method of controlling sheet feeder apparatus

An automatic document feeder includes a feed tray,on which documents are placed, a feeder,for feeding documents on the feed tray,to a conveyor path, conveying,for conveying the fed documents to an image reading position, a discharging,for discharging the read documents onto a discharging tray,, and a controller by which the discharging speed of the documents after being read so that the discharging speed varies with respect to the conveying speed, wherein, if the conveying speed when reading a document is within a predetermined range, the discharging speed after reading the document is controlled to be equal to the conveying speed when reading the document, and if the conveying speed when reading the document is out of the predetermined range, the discharging speed after reading the document is controlled to be within the predetermined range.

Auto document feeder

An automatic document feeder is formed of a transfer device having a transfer belt situated above a platen to transfer a sheet on the platen, and a belt motor for actuating the transfer belt, a sheet detecting device situated near the transfer belt for detecting the sheet, and a feeding device located near the transfer belt at a side of the sheet detecting device. The feeding device feeds the sheet between the transfer belt and the platen. A controlling device is electrically connected to the sheet detecting device and the belt motor. The controlling device, while the belt motor for transferring the sheet on the platen is actuating, outputs a stop signal to stop the belt motor when a predetermined time has passed after the sheet detecting device detects the sheet so that the sheet is placed on a predetermined position on the platen. The feeder further includes a compensating device connected to the controlling device. The compensating device assumes an amount of overrun of the belt motor from a time that the belt motor receives the stop signal to a time that the belt motor actually stops, and compensates a time that the stop signal is outputted from the controlling device based on the overrun amount. Thus, the sheet is stopped at the predetermined position.
