According to examples, a printing apparatus may include an output bin that is laterally translatable between a retracted position and an extended position. The printing apparatus may also include a sensor to detect a height of a stack of media on the output bin while the output bin is in the retracted position and a controller. The controller may determine whether the detected height of the stack of media on the output bin exceeds a certain level and in response to a determination that the detected height of the stack of media exceeds the certain level, laterally translate the output bin from the retracted position to the extended position.

Paper physical property detecting device includes a first detector that measures a sheet of paper (hereinafter, merely referred to as a paper) made to stop temporarily on a conveyance path and acquires a first value corresponding to a first physical property, a second detector that measures a paper while conveying the paper on the conveyance path and acquires a second value corresponding to a second physical property with regard to a physical property different from the first physical property; and a corrector that corrects the first value on a basis of the second value and creates post correction data.

A post-processing apparatus (1) includes a first conveyance path (41), a first processing part (55), a second conveyance path (95) and a merging conveyance path (97), and the first processing part (55) includes a conveying rollers pair (80) including a first roller (81) and a second roller (83) conveying the sheet along a first direction; a first folding rollers pair (84) including the first roller (81) and a third roller (85) forming a first nip, conveying the sheet along a second direction and performing a folding processing along a first fold line; a second folding rollers pair (86) including the third roller (85) and a fourth roller (87) forming a second nip, conveying the sheet along a third direction and performing a folding processing along a second fold line; a first folding guide (89) movable to the first nip; and a second folding guide (91) movable to the second nip.

A sheet feeding apparatus includes a sheet supporting portion configured to support a sheet, a feed rotary member configured to feed the sheet supported by the sheet supporting portion, a curved conveyance path through which the sheet fed by the feed rotary member passes and which is curved upward, an upper conveyance path disposed above the sheet supporting portion so as to pass through a sheet and configured to join with the curved conveyance path, and a driven rotary member disposed inside of the curved conveyance path in a curved direction thereof and driven to rotate by the sheet passing though the curved conveyance path.

An image processing apparatus that prevents erroneous use of paper by enabling registration of user identification of a user who can use a paper feed deck in information about each paper feed deck of the image processing apparatus and controlling paper feeding so that just the user associated with the user identification can use a paper feed deck to which the user identification was added.

In an image forming apparatus, a tray having first and second receiving portions is configured to move between a first position, at which at least part of the tray is positioned inside an apparatus body, and a second position, at which the tray is outside the apparatus body. The tray in the first position allows a first recording medium to be conveyed from the first receiving portion. When the tray is in the first position, the second receiving portion is configured to move between a third position, which is at an upstream side relative to a first opening of the apparatus body in a second direction, and a fourth position, which is at a downstream side relative to the third position in the second direction. The second receiving portion at the third position allows a second recording medium to be conveyed from the second receiving portion in the second direction.

An image forming apparatus has an image forming section configured to form an image on an image receiving medium conveyed along a conveyance path from a cassette thereto, a diverted conveyance path connected to the conveyance path at a first point on the conveyance path upstream of the image forming section, a movable guide that is controlled to guide the image receiving medium along a first path that includes a second point on the conveyance path downstream of the first point or a second path that includes the diverted conveyance path, a group of sensors positioned to detect at least two positions of a leading edge of the image receiving medium before the image receiving medium is guided by the movable guide, and a controller configured to control the movable guide to guide the image receiving medium along the first or second path based on detection results of the sensors.

To allow easy access to a jammed sheet when a sheet jam occurs in a sheet processing device installed inside the body of an image forming apparatus. An image forming apparatus is provided with a sheet binding unit that applies binding to sheets. The sheet binding unit has a carry-in port for receiving a sheet to be conveyed to a sheet carry-in path formed thereinside and an openable cover for opening the carry-in port. The end portion of the openable cover on the carry-in port side and an end portion of an operation part for inputting an operational item for the operation carried out in the image forming apparatus are arranged spaced apart from each other at a predetermined distance.

In accordance with an embodiment, an image processing system comprises a discharge section, a first tray, a second tray, and a controller. The discharge section discharges a processed sheet. The first tray and the second tray vertically move to load the sheet discharged from the discharge section. The controller drives either one or both of the first tray and the second tray to carry out control to discharge a sheet to which an image forming processing is executed to one of the first tray and the second tray and carries out control to discharge a sheet to which a decoloring processing is executed to the other tray according to a type of a job received by a reception section.

An image forming apparatus includes a main body, a post-printing processing device, and a paper exit part. The main body forms an image on paper. The post-printing processing device is located above the main body and performs post-printing processing on paper. The paper exit part is located on a side surface of the post-printing processing device. Paper is ejected to the paper exit part. The post-printing processing device includes a paper inlet port and a conveyance device. The paper inlet port is located in a rear part of a lower surface of the post-printing processing device. The conveyance device conveys paper conveyed via the paper inlet port into the post-printing processing device in a forward direction thereof to a paper loading tray and conveys the paper therefrom leftward to eject the paper to the paper exit part located on the left side of the post-printing processing device.
