A processing device includes a processing unit and a medium accommodation portion, and the medium accommodation portion includes a flexible sheet-like accommodation member, a pivot shaft to which one end of the accommodation member is coupled, an operation portion to which the other end of the accommodation member is coupled and that is provided separably from the pivot shaft, and a pair of support portions that supports both ends of the operation portion, and the accommodation member is wound around the pivot shaft and stored inside the housing when the operation portion approaches the pivot shaft, and is unwound from the pivot shaft and hung down to accommodate the medium when the operation portion is separated from the pivot shaft, and holds a weight closer to the other end than to an intermediate position between the one end and the other end in the advance and retreat direction.

A processing device includes a support table to support a sheet medium, a sheet cutter to cut the medium supported on the support table, a cutter holder to move the sheet cutter in a toward-away direction in which the sheet cutter moves toward and away from the support table, and a cutter transporter to move the cutter holder in a cutting direction that is orthogonal to a transport direction of the medium. The cutter holder includes a holder movable in the toward-away direction and that holds the sheet cutter, an actuator including a rod that extends or retracts, a link connected to the rod and the holder, and a rotation shaft that rotatably supports the link so that the holder moves in the toward-away direction in response to extension or retraction of the rod.

In an example, a media handling device (100) comprises a media catcher (110) defining a first media collecting width (112) along a lateral direction. The device also comprises a first board section (120) defining a second media collecting width (122) along the lateral direction, the second media collecting width exceeding and at least partially overlapping the first media collecting width, and a second board section (130), whereby the first board section is at least partially located between the second board section and the media catcher, the first and second board sections forming an apex (125) along the second media collecting width to support media. The device further comprises an abutment (140) at a distal end of the first board section away from the apex, the abutment being located between the first board section and the media catcher.

A rolling machine suitable for rolling up a continuous printed support, even of great length, is provided having an intermediate unit, containing a second roller with a mobile axis mounted on a movable support of the machine. The second roller is configured to receive a printed substrate and to drag it simultaneously in an direction of advancement towards the roll on which the reel is wound and in a direction perpendicular to the direction of advancement. The movable support is configured to translate perpendicularly to the movable axis of the second roller to increase/reduce a length of an overall path of the printed substrate from the printer to the reel on which it is rolled. A related control method of such a rolling machine is also disclosed.

A sheet conveying device includes: a sheet conveyance path that receives a long sheet conveyed from an image forming apparatus and allows the long sheet to be further conveyed; a turnover conveyance path that diverges from the sheet conveyance path, receives the long sheet conveyed from the sheet conveyance path to turn over the long sheet, and allows the turned-over long sheet to be further conveyed; a first shunt conveyance path that connects to the turnover conveyance path, has a circularly curved shape, and allows the long sheet conveyed from the turnover conveyance path to be shunted and switched back thereon; and a long-sheet conveyance path diverges from the turnover conveyance path connecting to the first shunt conveyance path and allows the long sheet switched back on the first shunt conveyance path to be conveyed toward a conveyance path leading to the image forming apparatus or an ejection device.

There is disclosed herein an arrangement for handling one or more stacks of sheets. The arrangement comprises a support surface being provided with a plurality of openings for supplying a gas underneath said one or more stacks of sheets, a maneuver unit being moveable relative to the support surface and comprising two side clamping devices, the two side clamping devices being arranged at a distance from each other. The arrangement further comprises at least one top clamping device configured to exert a downward pressure onto said one or more stacks of sheets. The two side clamping devices and said at least one top clamping device are at least partly independently maneuverable thereby allowing the arrangement to maneuver one stack of sheets and also to maneuver a plurality of stacks of sheets arranged in a row one after the other.

A printing medium accommodating apparatus can stack a printing medium discharged from a discharge port of a printing apparatus. This accommodating apparatus includes a receiving member configured to receive a printing medium discharged from the discharge port; a holding member configured to hold one end of the receiving member; and a turning member configured to turn the holding member, and includes an attachment unit capable of attaching the turning member to an insertion slot provided in the printing apparatus.

A processing device includes a processing section and a medium receiving section, wherein the medium receiving section has a sheet-like receiving member having flexibility, a pivot shaft coupled to one end of the receiving member, an operation section coupled to the other end of the receiving member and provided separable from the pivot shaft, and a pair of support sections that support both ends of the operation section, and the receiving member is wound around the pivot shaft and housed inside of the housing when the operation section approaches the pivot shaft, and is unwound from the pivot shaft and hangs down receivable the medium when the operation section is separated from the pivot shaft, and is wound around the pivot shaft such that contacting side with the medium is an inner side when the receiving member is wound around the pivot shaft.
