An image forming apparatus determines whether crease processing at a plurality of portions set on the sheet includes crease processing on two, front and back surfaces of the sheet; determines, if it is determined that crease processing includes crease processing on the two surfaces of the sheet, whether a connected post-processing apparatus that performs crease processing on a sheet can perform crease processing on the two, front and back surfaces of the sheet by one feeding; and controls, if it is determined that the connected post-processing apparatus cannot perform crease processing on the two surfaces by one feeding, to change, to one of the front and back surfaces of the sheet based on attribute information of the sheet, a surface to be processed in crease processing at the plurality of portions.

According to an example, an apparatus to prevent media transport jams may include an actuator to load and advance a media within a media path width. The apparatus may also include a first sensor and a second sensor to detect respective edges of the media, in which the first sensor and the second sensor may be positioned outside of a media action area and on opposite sides of the media path width. The apparatus may further include a controller to prevent the actuator from advancing the media along the media path in response to a detection of one or both of the first edge of the media by the first sensor and the second edge of the media by the second sensor.

In one example implementation, a printing device may comprise a number of media skewing rollers to skew a print medium to a predetermined angle with respect to a media feed path and a print engine to print an image on the skewed print medium, the print engine skewing a digital representation of the image based on the predetermined angle such that the image printed is aligned with the print medium. In another example implementation, a printing device may comprise a number of skewing rollers to skew a print medium to a predetermined angle with respect to a media path, a number of pinch rollers to receive the skewed print medium prior to printing, and a print engine skewed to the same predetermined angle as the skewed print medium.

A wire transfer device is provided. The wire transfer device includes a frame, a bobbin connected to the frame and on which a wire is configured to be wound; a holder including a first end connected to the wire and a second end opposite to the first end and configured to be connected to foil; and a guide roller configured to guide a movement path of the wire or the holder. The guide roller includes a groove region for accommodating the wire and a protruding region extending from the groove region and configured to contact with the holder.

An apparatus for supplying a large amount of bags includes: a bag stocking mechanism that stocks a large amount of raised bags and guides the stocked bags to the front end thereof; and a bag transport mechanism that transports the bags of the bag stocking mechanism to a packaging machine. The apparatus further includes, a bag pickup mechanism and a bag delivery mechanism that pick up the bag from the bag stocking mechanism; a detection unit that detects the orientation of the picked up bag; and a bag turning mechanism that turns the bag in the predetermined transport direction of the bag transport mechanism according to the orientation of the bag detected by the detection unit.

A printer includes a print zone, and a media output guide assembly downstream of the print zone to curve media between media side edges. The media output guide assembly includes: an inner guide; and a pair of outer guides, the media to pass between the inner guide and the outer guides with the inner guide above the media and the outer guides below the media. The media passing between the guides has, in a direction perpendicular to a media output direction, outer edges that droop around and below a top of the outer guides, elevated points at the tops of the outer guides and a central low point under the inner guide and between the outer edges.
