Abstract: An image forming device having a printer unit, a post-processing unit, and an eject tray. The printer unit forms images on recording sheets, and the post-processing unit performs processing on a recoding sheet stack composed of one or more recording sheets output from the printer unit before the recording sheet stack is ejected onto the eject tray. The image forming device includes: a buffer unit that, while a first recording sheet resides in the post-processing unit for the post-processing, holds a second recording sheet therein, the second recording sheet output from the printer unit subsequent to the first recording sheet; and a reverse path that reverses recording sheets when the image forming device performs duplex printing. In a plan view of the image forming device taken along a vertical direction, the post-processing unit, the buffer unit, and the reverse path at least partially cover one another.

Abstract: A folding processing unit in a sheet post-processing device comprises a first conveying path, upstream side conveying rollers, downstream side conveying rollers, folding rollers between the upstream side conveying rollers and the downstream side conveying rollers, and the second folding rollers. The folding rollers fold a sheet at the first nip portion between the two rollers. The second folding rollers are placed at a downstream side of the first nip portion. An edge face detection sensor for detecting the edge face of the sheet is placed on the first conveying path, at a downstream side of the first nip portion. The second folding rollers pinch the sheet folded by the first nip portion at the second nip portion, to further fold the sheet, based on the detection result of the edge face detection sensor. Herewith, degree of accuracy for folding behavior improves.
