Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
In an apparatus structure having a sheet discharge mode to store sheets at a stack tray from a sheet discharging path and a sheet discharge mode to store binding-processed sheet bundles with collating and stacking, sheet holding means is arranged above a sheet placement face of the stack tray as a sheet pressurization force being variable in two steps, and then, the pressurization force of the sheet holding means is adjusted in two steps in accordance with the sheet discharge mode for storing sheets at the stack tray.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A sheet storing apparatus, comprising: a sheet discharging path including a sheet discharging port; a processing tray on which a binding process with collating and stacking is performed on sheets fed through the sheet discharging port; a stack tray including a sheet placement face on which sheets fed through the sheet discharging port or a sheet bundle fed from the processing tray are stacked and stored; tray lifting-lowering means which lifts and lowe…
