Patent Images
1. A sheet post-process system, comprising:
- a first processing mechanism configured to perform a first post process for sheets;
a standby tray arranged under the first processing mechanism configured to catch the sheets dropped from the first processing mechanism, and load other sheets which are provided after the sheets;
a processing tray arranged under the standby tray configured to load the sheets dropped from the standby tray and the sheets which are provided after the sheets or the first processing mechanism not via the standby tray; and
a second processing mechanism configured to perform a second post process for the sheets loaded on the processing tray before the standby tray drops the other sheets onto the processing tray.

Abstract
Above a processing tray, a standby tray for making sheets of paper P stand by is installed. The sheets of paper P on the standby tray are dropped, fed, and moved to the processing tray, thus the conveying path from the standby tray to the processing tray is shortened. Furthermore, a Z-folding mechanism is arranged above the standby tray, and the sheets of paper P folded in a Z shape are dropped, and are mixed and stapled on the standby tray or processing tray, and even when performing a plurality of post processes for sheets, miniaturization of a sheet post-process system is retained.
