Abstract:
A sheet post-processing device comprising:a post-processing table for stacking sheets; a post-processing means capable of moving between the post-processing position where a post-process is effected on the sheets stacked on the post-processing table and the retracted position where the post-processing means is retracted from the sheets placed on the post-processing table so that the sheets can be discharged; a conveying means which conveys sheets into, or discharging sheets from, the post-processing table, and has a part which retracts from the space occupied by the post-processing means when the post-processing means is moved to the post-processing position and which also occupies the same space when the post-processing means is moved to the retracted position; and a shifting means for moving the post-processing means and the conveying means part in such a manner that the conveying means part retracts from the space occupied by the post-processing means when the post-processing means is moved to the post-processing position and moves and also moves into the space occupied by the post-processing means when the post-processing means moves back to the retracted position.
