Abstract:
A post-processing apparatus includes a loading tray, a post-processing unit for performing predetermined post-processing on a sheet before ejecting the sheet onto the loading tray, and a drawing paddle for sending the sheet conveyed toward the loading tray in a direction opposite to the conveying direction to draw the sheet to a predetermined position on a processing tray. The drawing paddle includes a paddle rotation shaft disposed above the processing tray with a predetermined distance from the processing tray, and a paddle blade fixed to the paddle rotation shaft. The paddle blade is a laminated body including an elastic sheet to be in contact with the sheet to be post-processed and a reinforcing sheet reinforcing the elastic sheet. The elastic sheet has a first length longer than the predetermined distance and the reinforcing sheet has a second length shorter than the predetermined distance.

Claim (Index 4):
The post-processing apparatus according to  claim 1 , further comprising:\n a driving source for rotating and driving the paddle rotation shaft, and a controller for controlling the driving source, wherein the controller determines a rotation time of the paddle rotation shaft to be driven by the driving source based on characteristics of the sheet to be post-processed, for drawing the sheet into the processing tray.
