Abstract: A finishing apparatus of an image forming apparatus and a method for controlling the same are disclosed, in which various block modules performing finishing functions are provided and a user can selectively use any module by detachably fixing the same in a copier. The finishing apparatus includes a paper conveyer module detachably fixed to an image tray module, a mail box module, a finisher module, and a booklet module, the paper conveyer module being detachably fixed in a copier. The paper conveyer module includes a controller sensing whether the respective modules are detachably provided to selectively control functions of the respective modules in accordance with an output signal of the copier. In addition, paper path switch devices provided in the paper conveyer module include a plurality of paper dispensers that dispense papers in three or more directions.

Abstract: A tape feeder and a method of controlling the same are disclosed, in which an automatic feeding tape and a manual feeding tape are selectively fed to a binding device.

Abstract: A paper binding system of an image forming apparatus, such as a printer and a copier, and a method for controlling the same are disclosed, in which finishing processes such as stapling and folding are performed by exactly gripping papers ejected from the image forming apparatus without any scattering. The paper binding system of the image forming apparatus includes a paper moving means 150 moving papers ejected from the image forming apparatus, a paper positioning unit 88 temporarily receiving the papers moved from the paper moving means and positioning them, a stapler unit 84 stapling the papers received in the paper positioning unit, a folding means 151 folding the stapled papers, and an eject tray 135 receiving the papers finished through the stapler unit and/or the folding means.

Abstract: Disclosed is a paper processing unit for a binding device that can improve moving efficiency of a sheet of papers and prevent side binding error of the sheet of papers.

Abstract: A stapler moving guide device is disclosed, which can move regardless of a paper conveyer so as to enable multi-stapling at the end of papers and at the same time can move to a side portion at a tilt angle. The stapler moving guide device includes a stapler frame 131 provided with a stapler moving path 133 and a horizontal moving guide 52, a first moving plate 50 reciprocating along the horizontal moving guide, a second moving plate 51 reciprocating on the first moving plate in a direction perpendicular to the horizontal moving guide and moving in parallel with the first moving plate, and a stapler 124 fixed on the second moving plate.
