A recording device includes a recording unit configured to perform recording on a medium, and a discharge tray located above the recording unit in a height direction of the recording device and configured to support the medium discharged after recording is performed thereon, and a flow path of air for cooling a cooling target is formed along a lower surface of the discharge tray. The recording unit is an example of the cooling target.

A recording apparatus includes: an apparatus main body that includes a recording unit; a medium-receiving tray that is configured to be switched between a first state and a second state; and a motor, in which the medium-receiving tray includes a first tray, a second tray that is configured to be displaced with respect to the first tray and that is positioned further than the first tray from the apparatus main body when the medium-receiving tray is in the second state, a pinion gear engaged with a first rack formed in the first tray in a displacement direction of the second tray and with a second rack formed in the second tray in the displacement direction, and a displacement section that supports the pinion gear and that is displaced in the displacement direction in response to receiving power from the motor.

A sheet post-processor includes a processing tray, a sheet discharge port, a discharge roller pair, a pair of cursor members, a pair of support members, and an interlocking mechanism. The interlocking mechanism includes a pair of coupling members arranged in the processing tray so as to be reciprocatable in a sheet width direction. The pair of coupling members are coupled to or decoupled from the pair of cursor members in accordance with movement of the pair of cursor members. While being coupled to the pair of cursor members, the pair of coupling members contact the pair of support members so as to displace the pair of support members to a protruding position, and while being decoupled from the pair of cursor members, the pair of coupling members separate from the pair of support members so as to displace the pair of support members to a retracted position.

To provide a sheet stacking apparatus and image forming system capable of improving alignment characteristics also in the case where an aligning section is not able to act on a sheet discharged onto a stacking tray, the sheet stacking apparatus and image forming system include a stacking tray stacking discharged sheets, a pair of aligning sections capable of shifting in a width direction to align the width direction crossing a direction in which the sheet to stack on the stacking tray is discharged, and a control section that controls a relative position of the aligning sections and the sheet to discharge so that one of the pair of the aligning sections regulates a shift of the sheet stacked on the stacking tray to one direction side in the width direction, when a sheet with a predetermined width in the width direction of the sheet is discharged to the stacking tray.

A loading device includes a placement portion and a correction portion. The placement portion is provided at a device main body, and a single paper sheet discharged from a discharge unit is placed on the placement portion. The correction portion is disposed downstream of the placement portion in a discharge direction, and corrects curling of the single paper sheet by coming into contact with the single paper sheet moving in the discharge direction from the placement portion. Furthermore, the correction portion includes a contact surface that extends in an intersecting direction intersecting the discharge direction and comes into contact with the single paper sheet, such that the position of the correction portion in the vertical direction becomes lower from upstream to downstream in the discharge direction.

A medium ejecting apparatus includes an ejection roller to eject medium, a first tray to place the medium ejected by the ejection roller, a second tray provided so as to be pulled out from the first tray, and a stopper accommodated in the first tray together with the second tray in a laid state, rotatably supported at a downstream end portion in a medium ejecting direction of the second tray, and provided with a slid portion. The first tray is provided with a sliding portion to slide with respect to the slid portion in response to an operation in which the second tray is pulled out from the first tray to raise the stopper.

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 medium ejecting apparatus includes medium ejecting apparatus includes an ejection roller to eject a medium, a tray to load the medium ejected by the ejection roller, a medium regulating member provided with a load pressing portion on a front-end side thereof to apply a load to the medium ejected on the tray, and provided with an engaging portion on a base portion side opposite to the front-end portion, and a holding member provided with an engaged portion to engage with the engaging portion, to hold the medium regulating member in such a way that the medium regulating member can swing in a vertical direction with respect to an upper surface of the tray, and pivot along a rotation axis in a direction from the base side toward the front-end portion side, according to the ejection of the medium.
