According to one embodiment, a manual sheet feeding device includes a pressure plate, a first displacement member, a first input member, a second displacement member, a second input member, a coupling member, a restricting member, and an elastic member. The first displacement member displaces the plate from a first side to a pressure and a release position. The first input member displaces the first displacement member to a first and a second position. The second displacement member displaces the plate from a second side to the pressure and the release position. The second input member displaces the second displacement member to a third and a fourth position. The coupling member gives the second input member a second displacement amount larger than a first displacement amount. The restricting member restricts a displacement amount of the second input member. The elastic member elastically deforms when the amount of displacement is restricted.

A sheet feeding apparatus includes an apparatus body, a cover openably and closably supported between a first closed position and a first open position, a first supporting portion movable between a second closed position and a second open position, an interlocking portion configured to move the first supporting portion from the second closed position to the second open position in a case where the cover is opened from the first closed position to the first open position, a second supporting portion drawably supported by the first supporting portion, and a feed portion configured to feed the sheet supported by the first and second supporting portions. A moving angle of the first supporting portion in moving from the second closed position to the second open position is smaller than a moving angle of the cover in moving from the first closed position to the first open position.

A medium conveying apparatus includes a housing including an accommodation portion provided with a guide portion at an end portion in a width direction, a tray accommodated in the accommodation portion so as to be pulled out, and including a placing surface for placing an ejected medium, and an engaging portion provided on a side surface of the tray, to engage the guide portion. The guide portion includes a pair of rails inclined upward and having a predetermined width. The engaging portion includes two protrusions provided so as to slide between the pair of rails and located apart from each other by a predetermined distance. By locating the two protrusions between the pair of rails, the tray is positioned at a predetermined position with respect to the housing with a front end portion of a downstream side in the medium ejecting direction located upward.

A sheet feeding apparatus includes an opening/closing unit including a stacking portion, a moving unit including a feed roller and a moving member supporting the feed roller, an urging portion, and a transmitting portion configured to transmit urging force of the urging portion to the moving member. The opening/closing unit is configured to press and move the moving unit in the second direction against the urging force while the opening/closing unit moves from the open position to the closed position. A force that the opening/closing unit receives from the moving unit in a state where the opening/closing unit is at the closed position is smaller than a maximum force that the opening/closing unit receives from the moving unit that is urged in the first direction by the urging portion while the opening/closing unit moves from the open position to the closed position.

A sheet feeding device includes a door movable between an opened position and a closed position relative to an apparatus body, a stacking portion for a sheet, a cover portion configured to be situated at a first position when the door is situated at the opened position and to be situated at a second position when the door is situated at the closed position, and a moving unit including a feeding roller and a moving member supporting the feeding roller. The moving member is movable with respect to the stacking portion in a first direction in which the feeding roller comes close to the stacking portion and in a second direction which is opposite to the first direction. In a state in which the cover portion is situated at the first position, the moving unit is situated between the cover portion and the door.

A post-process apparatus may include: a first operation portion that accepts a sheet conveyed from an image forming apparatus and performs a first operation based on a job involved with the sheet, a second operation portion that accepts a sheet manually inserted into the post-process apparatus and performs a second operation different from the first operation, and a control unit that determines timing to perform the second operation in accordance with a condition of the first operation performed.

According to one embodiment, an image processing apparatus includes an apparatus main body, a first rotating body, a second rotating body, and a connection member. The first rotating body is configured to be openable and closeable and provided in the apparatus main body. The second rotating body is provided in the first rotating body. The second rotating body is configured to be openable and closable from the first rotating body in the same direction as that of the first rotating body. The connection member is linear. The connection member is configured to connect the apparatus main body and the second rotating body to each other and to restrict a rotation angle of the second rotating body.

An image forming apparatus includes: as a conveyance to convey an object formed with an image, an upstream-side conveyance path; an intermediate conveyance path connected to a downstream end part of the upstream-side conveyance path via a first bent part; and a downstream-side conveyance path connected to the intermediate conveyance path via a second bent part, wherein the second bent part is bent to a side opposite to the first bent part, on an inner side of a bend of the first bent part, a friction reducing part capable of abutting with the object conveyed in the first bent part is provided, and the intermediate conveyance path includes: a pair of guide parts forming the intermediate conveyance path; and a friction reducing part that is provided on both a pair of the guide parts and is capable of abutting with the object conveyed between a pair of the guide parts.

An image forming apparatus includes a medium storing part storing mediums, a sheet feeding part feeding the medium from the medium storing part, an image forming part forming an image to the medium, a residual quantity detecting part, a storage part, and a residual medium estimating part. The residual quantity detecting part detects a residual quantity of the mediums stored in the medium storing part as a relative residual quantity with regard to a maximum storing quantity of the mediums in the medium storing part. The storage part stores maximum storing number of the mediums corresponding to the maximum storing quantity of the medium storing part. The residual medium estimating part calculates number of estimated residuals of the mediums stored in the medium storing part on the basis of the relative residual quantity detected by the residual quantity detecting part and the maximum storing number stored in the storage part.

The detection unit includes a first contact member, which comes into contact with a first surface of a recording material and a second contact member, which comes into contact with a second surface of the recording material, the first contact member and the second contact member being disposed so as to oppose each other thus being capable of nipping the recording material, and the first contact member and the second contact member are movable in a direction in which the first contact member and the second contact member nip the recording material, and is rotatable about an axis line extending in a predetermined direction, the predetermined direction being orthogonal to the direction in which the first contact member and the second contact member are movable and being orthogonal to a conveyance direction of the recording material.
