ABSTRACT:
A compact sheet processing apparatus mountable on the side of a copying machine body processes sheets discharged therefrom. The apparatus includes a sheet supplier for supplying sheets received from the copying machine body; a sheet discharger; a first transport route connecting the sheet supplier and discharger, and a sheet-stamping mechanism disposed opposite the sheet-bearing surface of the first transport route. Further included is a second transport route, diverging from and extending below the first transport route, which feeds sheets to a punching mechanism disposed therein; a transport drive providing controlled transport of sheets in each transport route; and a process timing control unit. The sheets are transported along both the first and second transport routes wherein the stamping and punching operations are both to be carried out, and then discharged through the discharger. The timing of the processes is controlled according to set conditions. Transport within the reduced-dimension apparatus is such that wherein holes are punched into a sheet in the punching mechanism, drive in a latter-stage unit such as a sorter mounted at the discharger need only be halted, a reversing capability or the like thereof thus being unnecessary.
