A medium transporting apparatus includes a first tray on which a medium discharged with a pair of discharge rollers that discharges a medium is mounted, a guide member that contacts the medium, which is discharge with the pair of discharge rollers, from above, and that guides the medium to the first tray, and a width direction matching member that matches an end portion of the medium, which has been discharged on the first tray, in the width direction that intersects a discharge direction of the medium. The guide member and the width direction matching member move in the width direction in an interlocked manner.

A recording device as a processing device includes: a recording unit accommodated in a housing and configured to perform recording on a medium; and a medium accommodating unit that accommodates the medium discharged from the housing. The medium accommodating unit includes: a sheet-shaped accommodating member; a rotating shaft provided inside the housing and to which one end of the accommodating member is connected; and an operating portion provided separably from the housing and to which the other end of the accommodating member is connected. The accommodating member is wound around the rotating shaft and accommodated inside the housing when the operating portion is mounted on the housing. The accommodating member is fed from the rotating shaft so that the medium is accommodated when the operating portion is separated from the housing.

An image forming apparatus includes an image forming unit, a casing, a sheet discharge unit, a sheet supporting portion, an operation unit, a supporting unit, and a regulating portion. The supporting unit supports the operation unit such that, when the display surface is tilted with respect to a horizontal direction, an end on a lower side of the operation unit is positioned below a second virtual straight line. The regulating portion is disposed between the operation unit and the sheet supporting portion in the vertical direction. The regulating portion is disposed such that at least a part of the regulating portion overlaps the operation unit and the supporting surface in a width direction. The regulating portion is disposed to intersect with the second virtual straight line. The regulating portion is configured to regulate an obliquely upward movement of a recording material discharged by the sheet discharge unit.

A medium discharging device includes a first tray, a second tray receiving a medium from the first tray, a supporter which is configured to be displaced from a retreat position in the first tray and an advance position above the second tray and which supports the medium, an aligner which is provided in the supporter and that aligns a first end portion which is an upstream end portion in a discharge direction of the medium supported by the supporter, to be displaced together with the supporter, and a restrictor configured to be displaced between a restriction position where an upstream movement of the first end portion of the medium in a position of the aligner in the discharge direction and a non-restriction position where the movement is not restricted, when the supporter is in the advance position.

A sheet discharge apparatus includes a discharge and sheet support unit, a detection unit, a rotation member having a first abutting portion positioned above the sheet support unit, and a pressing member provided rotatably independent of the rotation member. The discharge unit nips and discharges a sheet in a sheet discharge direction. The sheet support unit supports the discharged sheet. The rotation member rotates when the first abutting portion is pressed by the sheet. The detection unit detects a position of the rotation member. A second abutting portion of the pressing member abuts against the sheet at a position downstream from a position at which the discharge unit nips the sheet and upstream from the first abutting portion in the sheet discharge direction. The pressing member presses the sheet discharged from the discharge unit downward using the second abutting portion, regardless of a position of the rotation member.

Provided is an image-forming device with which it is possible to achieve a smaller size while suppressing a reduction in visibility or operability of an operation panel. In this image-forming device, paper sheets are discharged from the rear side of the device toward the front side of the device, and the image formation device is provided with: a paper-sheet-loading unit in which the paper sheets are loaded; an operation panel disposed on the downstream-side end in the paper sheet discharge direction of the paper-sheet-loading unit, at least a part of the operation panel being disposed in a loading region of the paper-sheet-loading unit; and a protruding part disposed to the side of the operation panel in the loading region, the protruding part protruding upward from the top surface of the paper-sheet-loading unit, and extending in the paper sheet discharge direction.
