Abstract
In a sheet post-process apparatus of the present invention, a pair of paper feed rollers for receiving and conveying sheets of paper is arranged so that the tangential direction thereof forms a dip of α with the horizontal plane, and a standby tray for making sheets of paper ejected from the paper feed rollers standby is given an inclination angle of β at which the front end of the sheets of paper ejected is positioned higher than the rear end thereof, and the two angles are in a relation of α>β.
