MEDIUM PROCESSING AND OUTPUTTING DEVICE

Japanese Patent JP3768660

B2

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To conduct a finishing work for a plurality of jobs without stopping the flow of media (job) on a certain specific holder table (output bin). SOLUTION: A sheet supply head 10 conducts the finishing process for a medium 25 in cooperation with the first output tray 15 and second output tray 20 in coordination so as to receive the medium 25. A locating wall 35 and a locating mechanism 40 perform the location of the medium 25 as the finishing work in cooperation with the first output tray 15 which serves as an intermediate output tray. A stapling mechanism 45 makes binding motions as another finishing operation. After completion of these finishing motions, a pushing arm 55 pushes the medium 25 in the first output tray 15 along a medium processing path 50 and sends to the second output tray 20 to serve as the final output tray. This operating cycle is repeated, and the finishing work for a plurality of media is performed in the first output tray 15.
