Post-processing device and image forming apparatus
A post-processing device includes an output unit that outputs a medium; a stacking unit on which the medium that is output is stacked; and a blow-out unit that is disposed below the output unit and that blows gas toward the medium that is output, wherein an amount of the gas blown is adjusted in accordance with a type of the medium.
RECORDING MATERIAL PROCESSING APPARATUS AND IMAGE FORMING SYSTEM
A recording material processing apparatus includes first teeth that are used for binding processing of a recording material bundle; second teeth that move toward the first teeth and press the recording material bundle located between the first teeth and the second teeth; a guide portion that guides an interlocking portion interlocking with the second teeth; and a guided portion that is provided in the interlocking portion and guided by the guide portion, in which one of the guide portion and the guided portion includes a hole, and the other includes a rod-shaped portion that extends in a movement direction of the interlocking portion and comes into contact with an inner surface of the hole.
SHEET STORAGE APPARATUS AND SHEET PROCESSING APPARATUS
The sheet storage apparatus of the present disclosure includes an attachment unit to which a storing bag for sheets is attached; a holding unit that holds the sheets toward an inner side in a storage direction of the storing bag attached to the attachment unit, the sheets being stacked and stored in the storing bag; and a closing unit that closes an entrance of the storing bag by sandwiching the storing bag from outside thereof. The closing unit closes the entrance by moving from a first position to a second position, the first position being a position before the closing unit starts sandwiching the storing bag, the second position being a position when the closing unit sandwiches the storing bag. The closing unit passes through the inner side in the storage direction than the first position between moving from the first position to the second position.

The closing unit closes the entrance by moving from a first position to a second position, the first position being a position before the closing unit starts sandwiching the storing bag, the second position being a position when the closing unit sandwiches the storing bag. The closing unit passes through the inner side in the storage direction than the first position between moving from the first position to the second position.
OUTPUT TRAY HAVING A MOVABLE SECTION
According to examples, an apparatus may include an input tray coupled to a media path and an output tray to receive media from the media path. The output tray may be automatically positioned to an open position based on the media being inputted into the input tray. A movable section may be movably coupled to the output tray. In some examples, the movable section may automatically move relative to the output tray based on the output tray being automatically positioned to the open position.
SHEET ALIGNMENT APPARATUS, SHEET PROCESSING APPARATUS, AND IMAGE FORMING SYSTEM
A sheet alignment apparatus includes a supporting portion configured to support a sheet, a first alignment member configured to abut an end portion in a first direction of the sheet supported by the supporting portion and align a position of the sheet in the first direction, a first moving unit configured to move the first alignment member in the first direction, a second alignment member configured to abut an end portion in a second direction of the sheet supported by the supporting portion and align a position of the sheet in the second direction, the second direction being perpendicular to the first direction, and a second moving unit configured to move the second alignment member in the second direction, wherein the first moving unit is disposed below the supporting portion, and wherein the second moving unit is disposed above the supporting portion.
CONVEYANCE APPARATUS AND PRINTING APPARATUS
A conveyance apparatus includes a conveyor and processing circuitry. The conveyor conveys a sheet. The processing circuitry controls conveyance of the sheet by the conveyor and switching a direction in which the conveyor conveys the sheet to a direction opposite to a direction in which the sheet is ejected, after the conveyance of the sheet is stopped under a predetermined condition.
Finishers to eject jammed print media
A finisher apparatus includes an actuator to control a component of the finisher apparatus to perform a finishing operation on a print medium. A sensor is provided to sense the print medium in a print-medium path in the finisher apparatus. A processor is coupled to the actuator and the sensor. The processor is to execute instructions. The instructions are to actuate the actuator to eject the print medium from the print-medium path in response to a signal from the sensor indicative of a jam of the print medium in the finisher apparatus.
Medium discharging apparatus, medium processing apparatus, and recording system
A medium discharging apparatus includes a first tray in which a medium is received and placed, a second tray in which the medium discharged from the first tray is received, a discharging mechanism, a curl suppressing member, a link mechanism, a movement mechanism and a cam mechanism. The discharging mechanism discharges the medium from the first tray toward the second tray. The curl suppressing member suppresses curling of the medium discharged from the first tray to the second tray by the discharging mechanism. The curl suppressing member is provided in the link mechanism. The movement mechanism is configured to move the link mechanism and the curl suppressing member in both the discharge direction and a return direction opposite to the discharge direction. The cam mechanism guides movement of the link mechanism.
Media folding device and control method for media folding device
A media folding device includes a stacking portion on which media transported from an introduction path are placed; a folding roller pair that folds the media at a folding position after the media have been stacked in the stacking portion; and a bend forming mechanism that includes a first abutting portion configured to abut against a front end of the media, which are stacked in the stacking portion, in a transport direction, and a second abutting portion that is configured to abut against a rear end of the media, which are stacked in the stacking portion, in the transport direction, and that causes the folding position of the media to be nipped by the folding roller pair the folding roller pair by shortening the relative distance between the first abutting portion and the second abutting portion to bend the media toward the folding roller pair.
