RECORDING MATERIAL PROCESSING APPARATUS OR IMAGE FORMING SYSTEM EACH OF WHICH EXECUTES STAPLING PROCESS - A simplified explanation of the abstract

  • This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18331872 Titled 'RECORDING MATERIAL PROCESSING APPARATUS OR IMAGE FORMING SYSTEM EACH OF WHICH EXECUTES STAPLING PROCESS'

Simplified Explanation

The abstract describes a recording material processing apparatus that includes various components such as a processing tray, a detecting unit, a stapling unit, an instructing unit, a control unit, a switching unit, and a notifying unit.

The detecting unit is responsible for detecting recording material that is placed in the processing tray. The stapling unit is used to execute a stapling process for the recording material in the tray.

The instructing unit outputs an instruction to execute the stapling process. When the control unit receives this instruction while the detecting unit has already detected recording material in the tray, it initiates the stapling process.

The switching unit is used to change the position of the stapling unit among multiple positions. The notifying unit provides notification about the placement position of the recording material in the tray for each of these positions.

In summary, this apparatus can detect recording material, staple it, and provide information about the placement position of the material in the tray.


Original Abstract Submitted

A recording material processing apparatus includes a processing tray, a detecting unit, a stapling unit, an instructing unit, a control unit, a switching unit, and a notifying unit. The detecting unit detects recording material placed in the processing tray. The stapling unit executes a stapling process for the recording material placed in the processing tray. The instructing unit outputs a stapling process execution instruction. Upon receipt of the execution instruction in a state in which the detecting unit has detected a recording material inserted in the processing tray from an outside of a main body of a main body apparatus, the control unit cause the stapling process to be executed. The switching unit switches a position of the stapling unit among a plurality of positions. The notifying unit provides notification of a placement position of the recording material in the processing tray corresponding to each of the plurality of positions.
