A control unit controlling an operation of opening and closing a pair of support portions and an operation of displacing a loading tray in a loading direction can acquire curl information including information regarding the degree of curl of a medium. The control unit sets, based on the curl information, a position of the loading tray in the loading direction when the pair of support portions are opened and closed to a first position in a case where a condition when the pair of support portions are opened and closed is a first condition, and the position of the loading tray in the loading direction when the pair of support portions are opened and closed to a second position lower than the first position in a case where the condition is a second condition on which the medium curls more easily than on the first condition.

A document managing method for a printing device is provided. The document managing method includes the following steps. Firstly, a printing mechanism prints a document with plural papers, and transfers the plural papers to a paper collection platform. Then, a management module manages the plural papers from two lateral sides of the plural papers. Then, a paper ejection module ejects a first portion of the plural papers at a first speed, and then ejects a second portion of the plural papers at a second speed. Consequently, the plural papers are exited from the paper collection platform. Then, the management module is separated from the two lateral sides of the plural papers, so that the plural papers fall down to a supporting tray. The first speed is faster than the second speed.

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.

An image forming apparatus includes an image forming portion, a fixing portion configured to perform a fixing process in which the fixing portion fixes the image and the powder adhesive to the sheet, and a bonding portion configured to perform a bonding process in which the bonding portion bonds the plurality of sheets to each other with the powder adhesive by using the heating member to heat and press the plurality of sheets, wherein P1<P2 is satisfied, where P1 (MPa) is a peak value of pressure received by the sheet in the fixing process, and P2 (MPa) is a peak value of pressure received by the sheet in the bonding process.

A medium loading device includes a side end aligning member which is positioned at a standby position when a medium is ejected; and a control section. When a value based on first information relating to recording density of a medium to be ejected this time and at least one medium among the media ejected previously is equal to or greater than a threshold value, the control section specifies a first position, which overlaps the medium to be ejected this time, as the standby position, and when the value based on the first information is less than the threshold value, the control section specifies a second position, which does not overlap the medium to be ejected this time, as the standby position, and the control section adjusts the threshold value based on second information relating to at least one medium among the media recorded before the ejection at this time.
