Abstract: Problem: To make it possible to bind a large amount of booklets in a short period of time by using a book binding apparatus efficiently. Solution: A book binding apparatus 10 includes a book binding part 11 which binds a booklet, a book binding control part 12 which controls the book binding part 11 based on book binding information, and a book binding apparatus side book binding information setting part 13 which sets the book binding information. A paper feeding apparatus 20 includes a feeding part 21 which feeds a recorded paper one sheet by one sheet, a feeding control part 22 which controls the feeding part 21 based on the book binding information, and a paper feeding apparatus side book binding information setting part 23 which sets the book binding information. The book binding apparatus 10 and the paper feeding apparatus 20 can be communicated with each other.

Abstract: The paper particle dust generated in the staple-processing for biding image-formed sheets without using any staple would not smear images on sheets or would not spread inside of the device.

Abstract: A sheet processing apparatus includes a sheet conveying path; a sheet entrance unit provided in the sheet conveying path; a sheet discharge unit provided in a location separated from the sheet entrance unit by a predetermined distance; a driving unit that drives the sheet entrance unit and the sheet discharge unit; a sheet guide unit that guides sheets and is provided between the sheet entrance unit and the sheet discharge unit to allow the sheets passing through the sheet entrance unit to be sequentially stacked; and a sheet buffer device that is configured such that the stacked sheets pass through the sheet discharge unit while the stacked sheets are loaded on a step with each leading end of the stacked sheets being separated with a predetermined interval.

Abstract: A binding apparatus performs a binding process by bonding the end side of the sheet bundle, and is provided with a notch cutter that forms a notch in the end side used in the sheet binding process in the middle of the sheet conveyance path of the binding apparatus. The notch-forming unit includes a pair of sheet conveyance guides for forming a part of the sheet conveyance path, a cutter provided in a rotatably supported bracket, and a biasing means for applying a force to the cutter to face the sheet conveyance path formed by a pair of the sheet conveyance guides at all times.

Abstract: A sheet-processing device for performing various sheet post-processing functions at high speed and implementing a compact structure includes a compiler 106 that causes a stacked sheet to wait until stapling processing is performed; a jogger 107 that aligns the sheet stacked on the compiler 106; a stapler device 24 that performs the stapling processing to the sheet aligned by the jogger 107 as many as the setting number of sheets; and a sheet transfer pathway 105 through which the sheet in which an image is formed is delivered to the compiler 106.
