- This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18194430 Titled 'METHOD FOR CONVEYING SHEET IN POST-PROCESSING APPARATUS'
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes a post-processing apparatus that includes a conveyance path, a buffer unit, a post-processing unit, and a processor. The apparatus receives sheets from a previous conveyance apparatus and forms a bundle of sheets using a buffer unit. The post-processing unit then performs post-processing on the sheet bundle. The processor controls the conveyance of the sheets and the sheet bundle and determines the delay amount of the sheets or the preceding sheet bundle. Based on this delay amount, the processor sets a shift amount between multiple sheets.
Original Abstract Submitted
A post-processing apparatus includes a conveyance path, a buffer unit, a post-processing unit, and a processor. The conveyance path receives a sheet conveyed from a conveyance apparatus in a stage preceding the post-processing apparatus. The buffer unit forms a sheet bundle constituted by sheets. The post-processing unit loads the sheet bundle performs post-processing on the sheet bundle. The processor controls conveyance of the sheets and the sheet bundle and obtains, in a case of a delay amount, a delay amount of the sheet conveyed from the conveyance apparatus in the stage or a delay amount of a preceding other sheet bundle conveyed from the buffer unit to the post-processing unit. The processor sets a shift amount between plural sheets based on the delay amount obtained by the at least one processor.
