Abstract:
There is provided a sheet post-processing device that has a first tray, outlet rollers, and a control section. The first tray holds sheets for post-processing with respect to the sheets supplied from an image forming device. The outlet rollers discharge the sheet to the first tray. The control section controls a rotational speed of the outlet rollers to be decelerated after a leading end portion of the sheet passes through the outlet rollers and before the leading end portion of the sheet comes into contact with the first tray.

Claim (Index 6):
A method for sheet post-processing in a sheet post-processing device post-processing with respect to sheets supplied from an image forming device, the method comprising:\n holding a sheet for post-processing with respect to the sheets supplied from an image forming device by a first tray; discharging the sheets to the first tray by outlet rollers; detecting the sheets passing through the outlet rollers in the vicinity of the outlet rollers by an outlet sensor; acquiring information related to the sheet from the image forming device; setting, based on the acquired information, a first speed, a second speed, and a transport amount; controlling a rotational speed of the outlet rollers, the rotational speed is set to the first speed in response to the sheet being supplied from the image forming device, decelerating the rotational speed to the second speed in response to a detection of the sheet by the outlet sensor in addition to a determination that the sheet is transported the transport amount, and, completing the deceleration before a leading end of the sheet comes into contact with the first tray.
