| 271298000 | With means to program discharge destination | 11 |
| 20090278308 | PRINTING SYSTEM, CONTROL METHOD, AND COMPUTER-READABLE STORAGE MEDIUM - A method for controlling a printing system includes stacking a sheet printed by executing a job on a stacking unit provided inside a stacker, the stacker including a door that can be opened and closed, opening the door in a case where a predetermined instruction is input by a user, and in a case where the predetermined instruction is input while a job for stacking the sheet on the stacking unit, control to output the sheet discharged by executing the currently executed job on an output destination different from the stacking unit. | 11-12-2009 |
| 20100320679 | SHEET STACKING APPARATUS - A sheet stacking apparatus includes a stack unit which includes a first stack tray and a second stack tray which can be individually elevated and is configured to stack a sheet on at least one of the first stack tray and the second tray, and a control unit configured to control the stack unit to stack the sheet in a first stack mode in which the sheet is stacked on at least one of the first stack tray and the second stack tray without being extended over the first stack tray and the second stack tray and a second stack mode in which the sheet is stacked on across the first stack tray and the second stack tray, the control unit capable of selecting the first stack mode and the second stack mode with respect to a same size sheet. | 12-23-2010 |
| 20120001387 | PRINTING SYSTEM, SHEET PROCESSING METHOD IN THE PRINTING SYSTEM, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A sheet processing method in a printing system constituted by a sheet processing apparatus including a plurality of paper discharge trays having different sheet stacking capacities, to any of whose paper discharge trays a printed sheet is discharged, and a printing apparatus includes setting which of the paper discharge trays is used first for discharging the sheet, specifying the number of remaining pages of sheets to be discharged by a job to be executed, and executing control for discharging the sheets starting from a paper discharge tray different from the set paper discharge tray according to the specified number of remaining pages and a restriction on a stacking amount on each paper discharge tray. | 01-05-2012 |
| 20130020760 | PRINTING APPARATUS, CONTROL METHOD THEREFOR, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - When a sheet processing apparatus is newly connected, discharge of sheets to a paper discharge tray the user does not intend is prevented while omitting cumbersome settings regarding the sheet processing apparatus. To accomplish this, a printing apparatus stores, in storage unit, information for determining a paper discharge destination to which sheets are to be discharged from among a plurality of paper discharge destinations. In a case where a newly connected sheet processing apparatus is a sheet processing apparatus of the same type as an immediately previously connected sheet processing apparatus, the printing apparatus does not change the information stored in the storage unit. In a case where a newly connected sheet processing apparatus is a sheet processing apparatus of a different type, the printing apparatus updates the information stored in the storage unit. | 01-24-2013 |
| 20140049003 | DOCUMENT STORAGE DEVICE FOR PRINTER - A document storage device includes a document storage rack, a document distributing apparatus, and a transmitting roller. The document storage rack defines a first storage space and a second storage space. A first protecting door is mounted on the document storage rack to close and lock the first storage space. The second storage space is readily accessible. The document distributing apparatus includes a controlling pole and a first distributing roller connected to the controlling pole. The transmitting roller transmits a document to the first distributing roller. The controlling pole moves the first distributing roller between a first position and a second position. In the first position, the first distributing roller transmits the document into the first storage space. In the second position, the first distributing roller transmits the document into the second storage space. | 02-20-2014 |
| 20140062015 | PRINTING APPARATUS, METHOD FOR CONTROLLING THE SAME, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - There is provided a technique of allowing the user to readily identify a printed material with a stable tint when a plurality of printed materials are output in a printing apparatus. To achieve this, a printing apparatus according to one aspect of the invention executes an adjustment job for printing an image on a plurality of sheets for adjusting the tint of the printed image, and controls to discharge, to a first discharge unit, a predetermined number of sheets among the plurality of sheets on which the image is printed by executing the adjustment job, and to discharge, to a second discharge unit different from the first discharge unit, a remaining sheet subsequent to the predetermined number of sheets. | 03-06-2014 |
| 20140319767 | PRINTING SYSTEM, SHEET PROCESSING METHOD IN THE PRINTING SYSTEM, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A sheet processing method in a printing system constituted by a sheet processing apparatus including a plurality of paper discharge trays having different sheet stacking capacities, to any of whose paper discharge trays a printed sheet is discharged, and a printing apparatus includes setting which of the paper discharge trays is used first for discharging the sheet, specifying the number of remaining pages of sheets to be discharged by a job to be executed, and executing control for discharging the sheets starting from a paper discharge tray different from the set paper discharge tray according to the specified number of remaining pages and a restriction on a stacking amount on each paper discharge tray. | 10-30-2014 |
| 20150314978 | SHEET STACKING APPARATUS, METHOD OF CONTROLLING SHEET STACKING APPARATUS, AND STORAGE MEDIUM - A sheet stacking apparatus performs control to change a sheet discharge destination from a first sheet stacking tray to a second sheet stacking tray in a case where an obstacle prevents the second sheet stacking tray from being moved down while a sheet is discharged to the first sheet stacking tray. | 11-05-2015 |
| 20160009518 | SHEET PROCESSING APPARATUS HAVING POST-PROCESSING SECTION, AND IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS HAVING THE SHEET PROCESSING APPARATUS | 01-14-2016 |
| 20160101959 | IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS AND SHEET STORAGE DEVICE - An image forming apparatus includes a body having an opening, an image forming unit, storage units that can store a sheet, and a moving unit provided in each storage unit. The moving unit moves the stored sheet and then stops it in an exposed state where the sheet is partly exposed, from the opening, to a body outside. Where a first sheet and a second sheet, stored in a storage unit different from where the first sheet is stored, contact and then are exposed to the outside, when a first sheet moving distance to the exposed state and a second sheet moving distance to the exposed state are different, the moving unit changes a first sheet movement start timing relative to that of the second sheet or changes a first sheet moving speed relative to that of the second sheet, based on moving distances of the first and second sheets. | 04-14-2016 |
| 20160378045 | IMAGE FORMING APPARATUS AND SHEET ACCOMMODATION UNIT - An image forming apparatus includes a main body of the image forming apparatus with an opening portion, an image forming unit, an accommodation portion, a stack portion, a sheet moving unit, and a control unit that controls switching between a first mode that moves, with the sheet moving unit, a sheet accommodated in the accommodation portion and stops the sheet when a part of the sheet is exposed external to the main body of the image forming apparatus from the opening portion, and a second mode that moves the sheet, with the sheet moving unit, accommodated in the accommodation portion and that discharges the sheet to the stack portion. | 12-29-2016 |
