A medium placement device includes a placement unit configured to have cut single paper thereon, a cover member configured to have single paper supplied to or discharged from an opening portion thereon, and a movement unit configured to move the cover member between a first position and a second position that is lower than the first position.

The sheet discharge device includes: a sheet discharge part; a sheet discharge tray having a tray upper surface and a rear wall portion; a fullness detection sensor for detecting that a height of a stack surface of folded sheets; and a first sheet presser member and a second sheet presser member for pressing a rear end side and a fore end side in a discharge direction, of the folded sheet. In a first pressing position in which the first sheet presser member extends from above the detection sensor to below the detection region, and is brought into contact with the folded sheet of a minimum size stacked on the tray upper surface. When a stack number of the folded sheets has exceeded a specified number, the first sheet presser member is retracted upward from the first pressing position by the rise of the stack surface.

A finisher apparatus includes an accumulator to register a print medium of a print job in preparation for a finishing operation, memory to store an attribute of the print job, and a processor coupled to the accumulator and the memory. The processor is to execute instructions. The instructions are to control the accumulator based on the attribute of the print job.

A paper stacking device includes: a stacker on which paper is stacked; a paper ejector that ejects the paper toward the stacker; an aligning plate that is provided on a side of the paper stacked on the stacker, and aligns a side end of the paper; and a paper floating member that is provided in the aligning plate, and supports, from below, the side end of the paper ejected from the paper ejector, wherein the paper floating member is switched, in conjunction with a movement in upward and downward directions of the aligning plate, between: a paper floating position that advances from a side of the side end of the paper to an ejection route of the paper, and causes the paper ejected from the paper ejector to float from uppermost paper stacked on the stacker; and a retreat position that retreats from the ejection route.

An image forming apparatus (1) includes a discharge port (25), a sheet stacking plate (41), a pair of cursors (43), a cursor driver (95), a pair of blowers (83) and a controller (37). Through the discharge port (25), a sheet formed an image is discharged. On the sheet stacking plate (41), the sheet discharged through the discharge port (25) is stacked. The pair of cursors (43) is supported on the sheet stacking plate (41) in a slidable manner in width directions perpendicular to a discharge direction of the sheet and comes into contact with both side edges of the sheet. The cursor driver (95) drives the pair of cursors (43). The pair of blowers (83) is provided in the pair of cursors (43) so as to blow air to both corners on an upstream side in the discharge direction of the sheet which is discharged through the discharge port (25), from above. The controller (37) controls the cursor driver (95) and the pair of blowers (83).

A document conveyance device includes a sheet feeding tray, a conveyance mechanism, a discharge tray, a document pressing member and a supporting mechanism. The document pressing member comes into contact with an upper face of the document discharged from a conveyance path and presses the document downward. The supporting mechanism is configured to be provided in the sheet feeding tray, to support the document pressing member, to allow a shifting of the document pressing member according to an operation for shifting the document pressing member in a discharge direction of the document or an opposite direction to the discharge direction and to inhibit the shifting of the document pressing member against a force applied to the document pressing member by the discharged document.

A medium-discharging device includes: a device main body including a medium-discharging section that discharges a medium; a medium-receiving tray that receives the medium discharged by the medium-discharging section; and a pressing member that is configured to be attached to and detached from to the device main body and presses the medium discharged by the medium-discharging section against the medium-receiving tray in a state in which the pressing member is attached to the device main body, in which the pressing member is configured to switch, in the state in which the pressing member is attached to the device main body, between a first state in which the pressing member comes into contact with the medium-receiving tray and a second state in which the pressing member retreats upward so as to be apart from the medium-receiving tray.
