Abstract
A document binding apparatus is formed to be mounted on an upper surface of a laser beam printer or the like. A paper discharged from the printer is fed to a paper guide, and a paper detecting sensor is turned ON to start the document binding apparatus. The paper is fed to a binding table through a paper lead-in roller, and a paper arranging pusher and a paper arranging rotation brush arrange the paper put on the binding table and an electromotive stapler binds the paper. After the staple process, a paper discharge roller holds the paper and discharges it to a stack tray.
