Disclosed is an example of a registration assembly for a media processing device, including a registration surface. The registration assembly including a bias member coupled to the registration surface to bias the registration surface toward the media processing path to apply a force to a media unit. The registration assembly including an activator coupled to a roller, the roller to be driven via contact with the media unit. The activator configured to move the registration surface toward the media processing path into the active position to engage the media unit responsive to rotation of the roller in the first rotational direction. The activator configured to move the registration surface away from the media processing path into an inactive position responsive to rotation of the roller in the second rotational direction.

A sheet processing apparatus includes a conveying portion conveying sheets; a stack portion staking the sheets; a first regulating portion regulating a position of a sheet bundle on the stack portion in a crossing direction; a second regulating portion regulating a position of a sheet bundle in the conveying direction; a first binding device moving in the crossing direction so that the first binding device moves between first and second sides of the sheet processing apparatus and to bind an upstream end portion of a sheet bundle by a staple at a plurality of positions in the crossing direction; a second binding device binding an upstream end portion of a sheet bundle, where the second regulating portion has contacted without a staple; and a controller causing, in a case that the first binding device binds a sheet bundle, the second binding device to be positioned outside the sheet bundle.

An apparatus for aligning at least one note of value along a transport path includes at least one transport element driven by at least one first drive unit and at least one counter-pressure element arranged opposite to the transport element. The transport path of the note of value extends between the transport element and the counter-pressure element. The counter-pressure element is ball-shaped and is mounted so as to be freely rotatable. Further, the apparatus includes a second drive unit for displacing the transport element along its axis of rotation so that a note of value arranged between the transport element and the counter-pressure element is moved transversely to the transport direction during displacement of the transport element.

An image forming apparatus includes a controller to move a sheet, in an image formation process on a first surface, to a standard position in a width direction and move the sheet, in an image formation process on a second surface, in the width direction based on a detected position in a case where a difference between the standard position and a first position in the width direction is equal to or smaller than a predetermined value. The controller moves the sheet, in the image formation process on the first surface, by the predetermined value in the width direction and moves the sheet, in the image formation process on the second surface, in the width direction based on detected positions in a case where the difference between the standard position and the first position in the width direction is larger than the predetermined value.

A system for punching at least one hole in at least one sheet-like material. In particular, a device and system that is uniquely configured and sized to be a table top unit for automatic punching of paper. The system has a sheet feeder, a sheet transport module and a punching die module that allows a punching die to be easily changed. The paper being punched by the punching die module is moved only a short distance from the sheet feeder and while the paper is still supported by the sheet feeder. The sheet feeder is located outside the system's housing to facilitate adjustment and troubleshooting. This advantageously allows for a smaller, compact unit that is effective and efficient.

The present invention is to provide a configuration facilitating removal of a sheet stopped on a conveying belt. Regulating guides are disposed on both sides of a conveying belt in a sheet width direction Y and can guide both end edges in the sheet width direction of a sheet S conveyed while being nipped by the conveying belt and the balls. A take-out port is provided on the side closer to the regulating guide in the sheet width direction Y, through which a sheet stopped on the conveying belt is taken out. A guide moving part moves the regulating guides. When a sheet is stopped on the conveying belt, the guide moving part moves the first and second regulating guides such that the regulating guide is retracted to a position at which a support surface does not support a first sheet end edge.

A medium transport device includes a first transporter configured to transport a medium by nipping the medium along with rotation, a second transporter configured to transport the medium and disposed on an upstream side of the first transporter in a transport direction of the medium, a first adjuster configured to adjust a position of the medium in a width direction by moving the first transporter and the second transporter in the width direction of the medium with the medium nipped by the first transporter and the second transporter, and a second adjuster configured to adjust a contact pressure of the first transporter for the medium and a contact pressure of the second transporter for the medium based on resistance caused when the medium is moved in the width direction.
