Abstract

A post-processing apparatus includes a post-processing apparatus side detecting unit that detects a position of a paper sheet, in which in a case where it is determined by a determining unit that the paper sheet is to be cut, the determining unit determining whether or not to cut a paper sheet on which a transport failure straddling an image forming apparatus main body and a post-processing apparatus main body has occurred, based on at least one of an output of the post-processing apparatus side detecting unit or an output of an image forming apparatus side detecting unit included in an image forming apparatus, a presentation unit is allowed to make a presentation for promoting cutting of the paper sheet.

Claims (43)

1 . A post-processing apparatus comprising:

a post-processing apparatus side detecting unit that detects a position of a paper sheet,

wherein, in a case where it is determined by a determining unit that the paper sheet is to be cut, the determining unit determining whether or not to cut a paper sheet on which a transport failure straddling an image forming apparatus main body and a post-processing apparatus main body has occurred, based on at least one of an output of the post-processing apparatus side detecting unit or an output of an image forming apparatus side detecting unit included in an image forming apparatus, a presentation unit is allowed to make a presentation for promoting cutting of the paper sheet.

2 . The post-processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the presentation unit is provided.

3 . The post-processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the presentation unit included in the image forming apparatus is allowed to make the presentation for promoting cutting of the paper sheet.

4 . The post-processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the determining unit is provided.

5 . The post-processing apparatus according to claim 2 ,

wherein the determining unit is provided.

6 . The post-processing apparatus according to claim 3 ,

wherein the determining unit is provided.

7 . The post-processing apparatus according to claim 1 ,

wherein the determining unit included in the image forming apparatus makes a determination.

8 . The post-processing apparatus according to claim 2 ,

wherein the determining unit included in the image forming apparatus makes a determination.

9 . The post-processing apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a cutting unit that cuts the paper sheet.

10 . The post-processing apparatus according to claim 1 , further comprising:

a first drawing unit that includes a first transport unit which transports the paper sheet, and that is capable of drawing out the paper sheet from the post-processing apparatus main body; and

a second drawing unit that includes a second transport unit which transports the paper sheet, and that is capable of drawing out the paper sheet from the post-processing apparatus main body, the paper sheet being discharged from the first drawing unit and being transported into the second transport unit,

wherein a presentation for simultaneously drawing out the first drawing unit and the second drawing unit is made, in a case where the transport failure has occurred on the paper sheet in a state of straddling the first drawing unit and the second drawing unit.

11 . An image forming apparatus comprising:

an image forming unit that forms an image on a paper sheet;

an image forming apparatus side detecting unit that detects a position of the paper sheet;

a determining unit that determines whether or not to cut a paper sheet on which a transport failure straddling an image forming apparatus main body and a post-processing apparatus main body has occurred, based on at least one of an output of a post-processing apparatus side detecting unit, for detecting a position of the paper sheet, included in a post-processing apparatus or an output of the image forming apparatus side detecting unit; and

a presentation unit that makes a presentation for promoting cutting of the paper sheet, in a case where it is determined by the determining unit that the paper sheet is to be cut.

12 . The image forming apparatus according to claim 11 ,

wherein, in a case where it is determined by the determining unit that the paper sheet is not to be cut, the presentation unit presents procedures for removing the paper sheet.

13 . The image forming apparatus according to claim 11 ,

wherein the determining unit determines that the paper sheet is not to be cut, in a case where a position of a leading end portion of the paper sheet on which the transport failure has occurred is within a predetermined range.

14 . The image forming apparatus according to claim 13 ,

wherein the determining unit determines that the paper sheet is not to be cut, in a case where the leading end portion of the paper sheet has not reached a position at which the paper sheet is to be gripped by a gripping unit, which initially grips the paper sheet inserted into the post-processing apparatus main body, included in the post-processing apparatus.

15 . The image forming apparatus according to claim 11 ,

wherein the determining unit determines that the paper sheet is to be cut, in a case where a trailing end portion of the paper sheet on which the transport failure has occurred is within a predetermined range.

16 . The image forming apparatus according to claim 15 ,

wherein the determining unit determines that the paper sheet is not to be cut, in a case where the trailing end portion of the paper sheet does not protrude from the post-processing apparatus main body.

17 . An image forming apparatus comprising:

an image forming unit that forms an image on a paper sheet,

an image forming apparatus side detecting unit that detects a position of the paper sheet;

a determining unit that determines whether or not to cut a paper sheet on which a transport failure straddling an image forming apparatus main body and a post-processing apparatus main body has occurred, based on at least one of an output of a post-processing apparatus side detecting unit, for detecting a position of the paper sheet, included in a post-processing apparatus or an output of the image forming apparatus side detecting unit; and

a presentation unit that presents procedures for removing the paper sheet after a cutting unit cuts the paper sheet, in a case where it is determined by the determining unit that the paper sheet is to be cut.
