A sheet processing apparatus includes a conveying portion; a conveying path for sheets conveyed by the conveying portion; a stack portion where sheets discharged from the conveying path are stacked; a first binding portion moving in a crossing direction crossing the conveying direction; a first regulating portion regulating a position of a sheet bundle stacked on the stack portion; a first guide member guiding the first regulating portion; a second regulating portion regulating a position of a sheet bundle on the stack portion in the crossing direction; a second guide member guiding the second regulating portion; a third regulating portion regulating a position of a sheet bundle on the stack portion in the conveying direction; and a second binding portion binding a corner portion of a sheet bundle without a staple. The first binding portion binds a corner portion of a sheet bundle by a staple.

The first binding portion binds a corner portion of a sheet bundle by a staple.

The document conveying apparatus includes a body, a document tray, a guiding tray, a first support member that supports the document tray movably between a open position where a document is placed on the first document stacking face, and a close position where the document tray is closed, and a second support member that supports the guiding tray. The second support member positions the guiding tray at a first distance from the document tray, when the document tray is at the open position. The second support member positions the guiding tray at a second distance from the document tray, when the document tray is at the close position. The second distance is smaller than the first distance.

A paper feed tray includes a cassette, a regulation plate which is slidably attached to the cassette, a cover provided to the regulation plate, a locking portion which is covered with the cover and engages with the cassette to fix a position of the regulation plate, and a lever. The lever includes a coupling portion coupled with the locking portion, a depression portion configured to be depressed toward one side in a direction of sliding of the regulation plate, and an intermediate portion provided between the coupling portion and the depression portion. The lever operates the locking portion to be disengaged from the cassette upon the depression portion being depressed toward the one side. The cover includes an extension extending while facing the intermediate portion. A space, which is open at a tip to which the extension extends, is formed between the extension and the intermediate portion.

A media handling assembly contains a transport path for driving a document sheet downstream in a process direction. A first side edge extends lengthwise along the process direction. A registration guide edge extends lengthwise along the process direction and is situated opposite the first side edge. The media handling assembly includes at least one nozzle that is arranged proximate the first side edge. The at least one nozzle selectively discharges an airstream transverse the process direction towards the registration guide edge. The airstream drives the sheet against the registration edge guide for side registering and deskewing of the sheet.
