Abstract:
1. A post-processing device comprising: a transport section that transports sheets from an upstream side toward a downstream side; a load section on which the sheets transported from the transport section are loaded; an aligner that performs a sheet alignment process on the sheets loaded on the load section; an alignment controller that controls the aligner to perform the sheet alignment process intermittently at an intervals of a predetermined number of sheets that have been transported one sheet at a time from the transport section to the load section; and a transport controller that controls the transport section by causing the transport section to transport sheets at a reduced speed intermittently at the intervals off the predetermined number of sheets so that the sheets transported at the reduced speed reach the load section after the aligner has completed the sheet alignment process that is has been performed on previous sheets transported immediately prior to the sheets transported at the reduced speed after the previous sheets are loaded on the load section.
