In an example printing device may include a tray to receive print media sheets, and a paddle roller to rotate about an axis and move individual print media sheets of the print media sheets to abut an end register of the tray and form a stack of print media sheets, and the paddle roller rotate a first quantity of rotations per print media sheet based in response to a determination that the stack of print media sheets corresponds to a first height.

Example printer finishing apparatus are described herein. An example printer disclosed herein includes an alignment guide, a track to align a sheet relative to the alignment guide, a clamp to move between a raised position and a lowered position relative to the sheet, and a force applicator coupled to the clamp. The force applicator is to cause the sheet to engage the alignment guide when the clamp is in the lowered position.

A sheet processing apparatus includes a conveying portion for conveying sheets, a conveying path for sheets, a stack portion for stacking sheets, a first binding portion having a first binding member and moving in a crossing direction crossing to the conveying direction, a first regulating portion which regulates a position of a sheet bundle stacked on the stack portion, a second regulating portion which regulates a position of a sheet bundle stacked on the stack portion, a third regulating portion which regulates a position of a sheet bundle, and a second binding portion which has a second binding member and binds a corner portion of a sheet bundle without a staple. The first binding portion binds a corner portion of a sheet bundle by a staple. The second binding member is located at a downstream of the first binding member in the conveying direction.

A medium drying device includes a transport roller pair as a transport unit that transports a medium and a heat roller pair as one heating unit that heats the medium transported by the transport roller pair and is provided in a transport direction of the medium, in which the medium is configured to be transported to a heating area by the heat roller pair a plurality of times.

An apparatus and a corresponding method involve storing value documents, in particular bank notes, to a storage device and to a value-document processing system. A stacker wheel is arranged to receive value documents and dispense them one after the other. A transport device is arranged to receive the value documents dispensed one after the other by the stacker wheel and to transport them in such a way that the value documents come to lie on top of each other in a shingled manner. A storage device for storing the value documents lying on top of each other in a shingled manner is provided.

A medium stacking device includes an intermediate stacker that receives a medium treated by a treatment portion, and a first alignment member as an example of a contact portion, that is configured to move between a first position for performing an alignment operation on the medium on the intermediate stacker, and a second position that is separated further from the leading edge of the medium than is the first position. Furthermore, the medium stacking device is provided with a stacking portion that stacks the medium discharged from the intermediate stacker. The medium discharged from the intermediate stacker is stacked on the stacking portion after a leading edge contacts the first alignment member positioned at the second position.

A loading unit includes a processing tray, alignment units, and a paddle. In the processing tray, a medium is placed. The alignment units are disposed an interval in a Y direction to align a downstream tip end in a positive A direction of the medium. The paddle moves the medium that has been fed onto the processing tray toward the alignment units. A coefficient of friction of a contact surface of the alignment unit is higher than a coefficient of friction of a front face of the alignment unit, and the contact surface is positioned downstream of the front face in the positive A direction.

A post-processing device includes a carrying roller, a conveying member, a transporting member and a processing part. The carrying roller is configured to be rotated to carry a sheet one by one to a processing tray along a conveyance direction. The conveying member is configured to convey the sheet carried by the carrying roller to a receiving position on the processing tray. The conveying member has a rotation shaft and a plurality of contact pieces protruding from the rotation shaft so as to come into contact with the sheet carried on the processing tray. The contact piece is made of elastic material. The conveying member is rotated at a rotation speed higher than a rotation speed of the carrying roller when the sheet carried by the carrying roller is conveyed to the receiving position on the processing tray.

A medium transporting apparatus including a transport belt that transports a medium while suctioning the medium against a transport surface, a first tray on which the medium transported with the transport belt is mounted, and a transport roller configured to move between a transporting position that nips the medium with the transport belt, and a retracted position that is a position distanced away from the transport belt with respect to the transporting position, in which the transport roller is positioned at the retracted position when a single medium is transported with the transport belt and is positioned at the transporting position when a plurality of mediums in a superposed state are transported with the transport belt.

A first unit includes a receiving portion that receives a medium to be processed, a drying unit that processes the medium received from the receiving portion, and an end stitching unit that processes the medium received from the receiving portion or the medium processed by the drying unit. The processing performed by the drying unit is processing of drying the medium, the drying unit is located vertically below the end stitching unit, and the drying unit and the end stitching unit have a portion overlapping when viewed in a vertical direction.
