20110233843 | IMAGE FORMING SYSTEM AND RECORDING MATERIAL PROCESSING DEVICE - An image forming system includes an image forming unit that forms images on recording materials; a stacking unit used for stacking the recording materials having the images formed thereon as a bundle; a first binding unit that binds, by a first binding operation, first edge portions of the bundle; a second binding unit that binds, by a second binding operation, second edge portions of the bundle; a reversing transporting unit that reverses front and back surfaces of the recording materials having the images formed thereon, and that transports the reversed recording materials to the stacking unit; and a controller that performs control to determine whether or not to cause the reversing transporting unit to reverse and transport the recording materials, on the basis of orientations of the images with respect to the recording materials and positions of the first and second binding operations. | 09-29-2011 |
20110233844 | SHEET PROCESSING APPARATUS AND SHEET PROCESSING SYSTEM - A sheet processing apparatus includes a support unit on which sheets, which each include first and second edge portions that differ from each other, are stacked together such that the first and second edge portions are aligned; a counter member disposed so as to face the first edge portions; a pressing member that presses the first edge portions against the counter member; a first binding unit that binds together the first edge portions by a first binding process, the first edge portion of each sheet being pressed against the counter member by the pressing member; and a second binding unit that binds together the second edge portions by a second binding process, the first edge portion of each sheet being pressed against the counter member by the pressing member, a bond formed by the second binding unit being more easily breakable than a bond formed by the first binding unit. | 09-29-2011 |
20110236158 | IMAGE FORMING SYSTEM - An image forming system includes a first supplying unit, a second supplying unit, an image forming unit, a stacking unit, first and second binding units, an obtaining unit, and a controller. The image forming unit forms images on recording materials supplied from the first or second supplying unit. The stacking unit is for stacking, as a bundle, the recording materials having the images formed thereon. The first binding unit binds, by a first binding operation, first edge portions of the bundle. The second binding unit binds, by a second binding operation, second edge portions of the bundle. The obtaining unit obtains an instruction regarding binding positions of the first and second binding operations with respect to the bundle. The controller performs control to supply the recording materials from the first or second supplying unit, on the basis of the binding positions of the first and second binding operations. | 09-29-2011 |
20120018943 | IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS AND IMAGE FORMING METHOD - An image forming apparatus includes an image forming unit that forms images on sheets; a stack portion on which the sheets with the images are stacked as a bundle of the sheets with first end parts of the sheets aligned; a first binding unit that binds the first end parts; a second binding unit that binds the first end parts, by a binding method that requires a binding region larger than that of the first binding unit; and a distance reducing unit that changes a position of the bundle when bound by the first binding unit, from a position of the bundle when bound by the second binding unit, and reduces a distance between a part bound by the second binding unit and the first end parts as compared with a distance between a part bound by the first binding unit and the first end parts. | 01-26-2012 |
20120018944 | SHEET PROCESSING DEVICE AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS - A sheet processing device includes a stacking unit that is used to stack a bundle of sheets that are placed upon each other with first edge portions of the sheets being aligned with each other; a first binding unit that binds the first edge portions of the bundle of sheets stacked upon the stacking unit; a second binding unit that is provided integrally with the first binding unit in a direction along the first edge portions of the bundle of sheets stacked upon the stacking unit, and that binds the first edge portions by a binding method differing from a binding method of the first binding unit; and an angle changing mechanism that is capable of changing an angle of the first binding unit with respect to the bundle of sheets when binding the first edge portions with the first binding unit. | 01-26-2012 |
