Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A post-processing device receives sheets ejected one by one from an image forming device, stores, in a storage tray, a number of sheets included in one set on which post processing is to be performed at a post-processing position at once, performs conveyance processing of one stored set of a sheet stack to the post-processing position, ejects the sheet stack to an ejection unit, detects a paper jam of the sheet stack during conveyance processing, when detecting the paper jam, predicts a first time when a beginning sheet of a subsequent ejected set arrives at the storage tray and a second time when the sheet stack with the paper jam is completely ejected in case of retrying conveyance processing, judges that retrial of conveyance processing is possible when the first time is no earlier than the second time, and when judging that the retrial is possible, retries conveyance processing.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A post-processing device for receiving sheets ejected one by one from an image forming apparatus, and storing, in a storage tray, a number of sheets included in one set on which post processing is to be performed at a post-processing position at once, the post-processing device comprising: a conveyance unit configured to perform conveyance processing of conveying one set of a sheet stack stored in the storage tray to the post-processing position, and ejectin…
