A sheet support apparatus includes a sheet support portion to support a sheet, and a regulation portion supported by the sheet support portion such that the regulation portion moves in a first direction and a second direction opposite to the first direction, with the regulation portion regulating a position of a downstream edge, in the first direction, of the sheet supported by the sheet support portion. In addition, a brake unit produces a first frictional force between the sheet support portion and the regulation portion in a case where the regulation portion moves toward the second direction, and produces a second frictional force larger than the first frictional force between the sheet support portion and the regulation portion in a case where the regulation portion moves toward the first direction.

A sheet conveyance apparatus includes an apparatus body including a conveyance assembly to convey a sheet, and a door pivotally supported around a pivot axis disposed in a lower portion of the apparatus body such that the door is opened and closed with respect to the apparatus body. The apparatus body includes a handle assembly including a first holder used to lift the apparatus body and is disposed inside a width of the door in an axis direction of the pivot axis. The handle assembly includes a first engaging section and a second engaging section disposed on the pivot axis, wherein the door includes a first engaged section to engage with the first engaging section and a second engaged section to engage with the second engaging section. The door is pivotably supported around the first engaging section and the second engaging section with respect to the handle assembly.

A transport unit transports a transport medium after the transport medium is newly placed as an uppermost medium in a state in which one or a plurality of placed media are already placed in a processing tray. At this state, at least one of the placed media placed on the processing tray is pressed by a pressing unit at a pressing position. After the transport unit is separated away from the transport medium, the pressing unit can move from the pressing position to a retraction position.
