DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Industrial Field of Application] The present invention relates to a paper processing device, which is a paper processing device that sequentially transports paper to a plurality of processing means for processing. ! ! It is related to the device.

[Conventional technology and its problems]

A paper processing device, for example, a slip processing device, accepts copies of multiple rows of slips with the same specifications one by one, stacks the papers, and sends them to a stapler, which staples each slip one by one. The paper is then sent to a cutter and cut into individual slips.

By the way, in such a slip processing device, it is necessary to align the sheets at least before the stapler is used to staple the sheets and the no-J vine is used to cut the sheets. However, in order to align the stacked sheets, a considerably complicated mechanism is required, which results in an increase in the size of the device.

Therefore, conventionally, the paper conveyance path is arranged substantially in a straight line so that the posture of the paper, which is aligned at the beginning of the paper conveyance, does not change during the conveyance. However, it is difficult to maintain the correct orientation of the paper while conveying it, and if the number of processing steps increases, there is a risk that non-negligible errors may occur.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION In view of the above circumstances, an object of the present invention is to provide a paper processing device in which the posture of paper is correctly aligned in each paper processing step, and which does not require a complicated mechanism.
