ABSTRACT:
An image-forming device according to the present invention has an image formation unit, a sheet postprocessing device made up of a postprocessing tray and at least a stapler, discharge rollers which discharge sheets of recording paper stacked in the postprocessing tray, and a discharge tray which receives the sheets discharged by the discharge rollers. The postprocessing tray is provided above the image formation unit, and the discharge tray is provided so that the surface on which the discharged sheets are stacked is lower than the postprocessing tray. With this structure, the image-forming device can be made compact in width, and operability, such as the ease of checking and removing the sheets stacked in the discharge tray, can be improved.
