By the way, recently, the vertically stacked paper sheets are moved in a substantially horizontal direction and sent to a binding portion, and the binding portion is bound with a tape in a horizontal position, and the binding is completed. There is a demand for a paper sheet bundling processing machine for horizontally delivering the paper sheet bundle.

However, in order to meet this demand, when the binding machine disclosed in the above-mentioned publication is dealt with in a lateral direction, the accumulated paper sheets can be fed in the horizontal direction to the binding portion, and the accumulated paper sheets can be fed also in the binding portion. It is possible to bind them in a horizontal posture, but when the bundle of paper sheets bundled by the holding claw and the clamp member is released, the paper is attached to the lower holding claw and the clamp member of the pair of the holding claw and the clamp member. The leaf bundle will hit and fall downward.
Therefore, even if the binding machine described in the above publication is changed laterally, it is impossible to meet the demand.

On the other hand, in the case of a binding processing machine having a structure capable of imprinting the tape after binding, in the one described in the above publication, the imprinting is performed at the end step of the binding operation, and therefore, until the next binding operation is performed. There is a problem that it takes time.

In view of this, the present invention is capable of carrying out a stacking process by tape by transporting the accumulated paper sheets in the horizontal direction, and carrying out the bundle of paper sheets after binding to a subsequent stage in a substantially horizontal posture. It is to provide a paper sheet binding processing machine.

When the tape needs to be imprinted after bundling,
An object of the present invention is to provide a paper sheet binding processing machine capable of concurrently performing the imprinting processing regardless of the binding operation and eliminating time loss.
