  • SHEET POST-PROCESSING APPARATUS, IMAGE FORMING SYSTEM AND POWER SAVING CONTROL METHOD
    Publication number: 20070047998
    Abstract: A sheet post-processing apparatus has a sheet conveying portion which receives and conveys a sheet discharged from an apparatus on an upstream side, and discharges it to an apparatus on a downstream side or a discharge tray, a sheet post-processing portion which carried out post-processing on the sheet, and a power saving control portion which renders the sheet post-processing apparatus into a power saving state, and the power saving control portion maintains electric power supply to the sheet conveying portion, and interrupts electric power supply to the sheet post-processing portion.
