Abstract:
1. A recording material post-processing device that performs a post-process for a recording material, the recording material post-processing device comprising: a post-processing device casing that has a branched transport path branched in two through which the recording material is transported; a post-processing mechanism that performs a given post-process for the recording material transported to one branched transport path; an additional post-processing mechanism that performs an additional post-process other than the post-process performed by the post-processing mechanism for the recording material transported to the other branched transport path; and a transport control unit that controls transport of the recording material such that the post-process using the post-processing mechanism is performed after the additional post-process using the additional post-processing mechanism, wherein the post-processing mechanism is a stapling mechanism and the additional post-processing mechanism is a folding mechanism, wherein the post-processing device casing to which the post-processing mechanism is installed is disposed on a recording material discharging unit having a concave portion disposed in an image forming device casing.
