Abstract
A sheet post process device with a stapler mechanism includes a conveying path configured to convey a sheet on which an image is formed to the stapler mechanism; a first sensor disposed along the conveying path and configured to detect a moving position of the sheet; and a tray in which the sheets are stacked to undergo a stapling process; and a rotary cam having a spiral shape disposed at a conveying path outlet through which the sheet is ejected from the conveying path to the tray. When the sheet passes through the conveying path outlet, the cam rotates and comes into contact with the sheet to move the sheet to the tray.
