Provided is an image forming system having a simple buffer mechanism and capable of preventing paging disorder when image-formed sheets are fed to a processing section. The present invention is featured in that an image forming order of a plurality of sheets to be made to stand by in a buffer section of a conveying path for guiding the sheets to a processing section is made different from an image forming order of sheets that are not made to stand by. To realize this, the system includes an image forming section, an accumulating section that accumulates image-formed sheet for processing, a conveying path along which the sheet is conveyed from the image forming section to the accumulating section, a buffer section disposed in the conveying path, in which the sheet to be fed to the accumulating section is made to temporarily stay, and a control section that controls the image forming section and the accumulating section.

When documents fed by an automatic document feeder are subjected to the first copying operation, the documents are counted one by one. Alternately, the total number of documents are calculated by dividing the number of copy paper sheets sent to an intermediate tray, by the preset number of copies. Page entry is made in the copy paper sheets taken out from the intermediate tray, based on the total number of documents thus obtained. The total number of documents may be automatically counted. Accordingly, even though the documents are successively fed, starting from the last-page document, page entry may be made. The operator is not required to manually count the total number of documents.

A method of forming a security device is disclosed wherein a magnetically aligned pigment coating coated on a first substrate upon a release layer is hot stamped onto another substrate or object. Multiple patches with aligned magnetic flakes can be oriented differently in the form of a patch work or mosaic. For example, a region of stamped aligned flakes having the flakes oriented in a North-South orientation can be stamped onto one region of an object or substrate and another region of stamped same flakes removed from a same substrate can be stamped onto a same object oriented in an E-W orientation. By first aligning and curing flakes onto a releasable substrate, these flakes can be stamped in various shapes and sizes of patches to be adhesively fixed to another substrate or object.

An electrophotographic imaging device employs a continuous form sheet having a plurality of segments divided by perforations. An image is formed on a predetermined area of each of the segments in accordance with image data. It is discriminated whether an image is printed, in accordance with the image data, on a segment of the continuous form sheet which is to be discharged out of the imaging device. If it is discriminated that the segment is discharged without an image being printed in accordance with image data, a pair of marks are printed on the segment. The discriminating mechanism and the mark printing mechanism can be disabled when a page length of a sheet of the continuous form sheet has a predetermined value.
摘要:
A compact sheet processing apparatus mountable on the side of a copying machine body processes sheets discharged therefrom. The apparatus includes a sheet supplier for supplying sheets received from the copying machine body; a sheet discharger; a first transport route connecting the sheet supplier and discharger, and a sheet-stamping mechanism disposed opposite the sheet-bearing surface of the first transport route. Further included is a second transport route, diverging from and extending below the first transport route, which feeds sheets to a punching mechanism disposed therein; a transport drive providing controlled transport of sheets in each transport route; and a process timing control unit. The sheets are transported along both the first and second transport routes wherein the stamping and punching operations are both to be carried out, and then discharged through the discharger. The timing of the processes is controlled according to set conditions. Transport within the reduced-dimension apparatus is such that wherein holes are punched into a sheet in the punching mechanism, drive in a latter-stage unit such as a sorter mounted at the discharger need only be halted, a reversing capability or the like thereof thus being unnecessary.

A sheet storing apparatus comprising a tray for receiving sheets ejected from a copying machine, a first shift unit for reciprocating the tray in the direction perpendicular to the ejection of sheets, an aligning member for aligning the sheets on the tray, which is in contact with the surface of the top of the sheets on the tray and a second shift unit for shifting the aligning member in the same direction as that of the shifting of the tray. The sheets are divided by the shifting of the tray every time a set of sheets finishes to be transported onto the tray, and the aligning member is shifted synchronized with the shifting of the tray. Further, the sheet storing apparatus is provided with a rotatable ejection roller for transporting sheets onto the tray and a round transport member which is in contact with the ejection roller and rotatable together with the rotation of the ejection roller, and through between which and the ejection roller the sheets are transported onto the tray, and the ejection roller is shifted in the direction perpendicular to the ejection of sheets synchronized with the shifting of the tray.
摘要:
A sheet handling apparatus comprising a stapling tray for receiving sheets ejected from a copying machine and a stamp for stamping on the sheets in the stapling tray, wherein the surface of the stapling tray facing the stamp is made of soft and elastic material to reduce friction. The sheets are selectively stapled or stapled and stamped, and the stamping operation is performed after the stapling operation. Further, the sheet handling apparatus comprises an ejection tray for receiving sheets ejected for the copying machine, an elevate block for elevating and lowering the ejection tray, a linking mechanism for actuating the stamp to stamp on the sheets in connection with the movement of the ejection tray driven by the elevate block.

A sheet post-processing apparatus includes a first unit having a guide device for guiding a sheet, a second unit having a first post-processing device for performing post-processing on the sheet, and a third unit having a second post-processing device for loading sheets and performing post-processing on the sheets in bunch form placed on the processing tray. A first coupling device is provided for coupling the first unit and at least one of the second and third units. A second coupling device is provided for coupling the second unit and the third unit. The second unit and the third unit are capable of being pulled out in the sheet carrying-out direction with respect to the first unit by releasing the first coupling device. The entire or front side of the second unit is shiftable to the first unit side with respect to the third unit by releasing the second coupling device.

摘要:
In an image forming apparatus, when a first sheet discharger discharges a sheet bearing an image in a first direction from a proximal end to a distal end of the image forming apparatus, a post-processing device performs post-processing including at least one of stapling, punching, stamping, and sorting of the sheet discharged from the first sheet discharger. After a second sheet discharger discharges the processed sheet in a second direction opposite to the first direction in which the first sheet discharger discharges the sheet bearing the image, a sheet stacker stacks the sheet discharged from the second sheet discharger. A sheet conveyance path is provided between the first sheet discharger and the second sheet discharger. An opening is provided between the sheet stacker and an image reader so that the sheet discharged from the second sheet discharger can be retrieved from the sheet stacker in the second direction.
