Publication number: 20130038013Abstract: A sheet stacking apparatus includes a discharge unit, a stacking tray, an acquisition unit, a shift control unit, and an alignment unit. The shift control unit controls a stacking position of a sheet in a sheet width direction in response to shift information acquired by the acquisition unit. The alignment unit aligns a sheet staked on the stacking tray and moves to a position that abuts on a side edge of the sheet in the sheet width direction to align the sheet. The shift control unit controls a stacking position of a second sheet to stack the second sheet on a second position or on a first position depending on where a first sheet is stacked and on shift information of the second sheet.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 19, 2012Publication date: February 14, 2013Applicant: CANON KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Akihiro Arai, Mitsuhiko Sato, Shunsuke Nishimura, Toshiyuki Miyake, Takashi Yokoya, Hiromasa Maenishi, Yutaka Ando, Nozomi Kumakura

Publication number: 20130032992Abstract: A sheet stacking apparatus includes an alignment member to align a sheet stacked on a stacking tray in a width direction perpendicular to a direction in which the sheet is discharged. When stacking a plurality of sheets on the stacking tray, the sheet stacking apparatus lowers the stacking tray, so that a predetermined distance is maintained between the top surface sheet and a sheet discharge port. If the stacking tray is lowered to a predetermined position while the alignment unit is executing an alignment operation at a first position, the sheet stacking apparatus lowers the alignment member to a second position lower than the first position and causes the alignment member to execute the alignment operation at the second position.Type: ApplicationFiled: August 2, 2012Publication date: February 7, 2013Applicant: CANON KABUSHIKI KAISHAInventors: Mitsuhiko Sato, Toshiyuki Miyake, Shunsuke Nishimura, Takashi Yokoya, Yutaka Ando, Hiromasa Maenishi, Akihiro Arai, Nozomi Kumakura

Patent number: 8328178Abstract: A sheet conveying system which is capable of preventing a jammed sheet from being mixed with processed sheets, reducing waste in sheets and toners, and further alleviating the user's operations, when jamming has occurred during passing of a sheet between respective sheet conveying devices of upstream and downstream apparatuses. A puncher control section of a puncher as an upstream apparatus of the system issues a passing completion notification as to the passing of a sheet to a staple stacker control section of a staple stacker as a downstream apparatus of the system. Upon reception of the notification, when the staple stacker control section determines that the parameter of auxiliary information of the notification indicates an abnormal discharge of the sheet from the puncher, the staple stacker stops the conveyance of the sheet.Type: GrantFiled: February 15, 2011Date of Patent: December 11, 2012Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Toshiyuki Miyake, Mitsuhiko Sato, Ichiro Sasaki, Manabu Yamauchi, Naoto Watanabe, Akinobu Nishikata, Takayuki Fujii, Hidenori Sunada, Shunsuke Nishimura, Takashi Yokoya

Patent number: 8308154Abstract: A control method for an image forming system capable of preventing reduction of the ability of the system even if a shift transportation function becomes an abnormal condition. An image forming apparatus forms an image on a sheet. A first sheet process apparatus has a first moving unit receiving the sheet on which the image is formed and moving the sheet in a width direction. In a determination step, it is determined whether a second sheet process apparatus having a second moving unit moving the sheet in the width direction is connected to an upstream side of the first sheet process apparatus. In a detection step, it is detected an abnormal condition of the first moving unit. In a sheet movement step, the second moving unit moves the sheet in the width direction if an abnormal condition is detected and the second sheet process apparatus is connected.Type: GrantFiled: February 24, 2009Date of Patent: November 13, 2012Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Toshiyuki Miyake, Manabu Yamauchi, Naoto Watanabe, Takayuki Fujii, Shunsuke Nishimura, Satoru Yamamoto, Yushi Oka, Takashi Yokoya, Hidenori Matsumoto

Patent number: 8292285Abstract: A sheet processing apparatus capable of maintaining alignment of sheets of a sheet bundle on a processing tray even in a job uses sheets including particular sheets. In the sheet processing apparatus (finisher), a sheet conveyed along a conveying path is retained in a buffer path. The sheet and the following sheet are stacked on a processing tray in a state superposed with a shift in a conveying direction. A finisher controller determines in advance, before a conveyed sheet reaches the buffer path, whether or not the sheet is a particular sheet having a protrusion. When the sheet retained in the buffer path and the following sheet are to be superposed one upon the other, the amount of the shift between the sheets in the conveying direction is controlled according to a result of the determination by the finisher controller.Type: GrantFiled: May 17, 2011Date of Patent: October 23, 2012Assignee: Canon Kabushiki KaishaInventors: Takashi Yokoya, Toshiyuki Miyake, Mitsuhiko Sato, Yutaka Ando
