A sheet storage device includes a sheet positioning member that is movable in a first direction, and positions a sheet by abutting on a side end portion of the sheet at a side in the first direction. The sheet positioning member includes a moving body, an abutting portion, a first and a second biasing member, and a bias removing portion. The moving body is configured to move in the first direction. The abutting portion is supported by the moving body to be movable in the first direction and configured to abut on the side end portion when the sheet positioning member positions the sheet. The first biasing member biases the abutting portion toward the side end portion. The second biasing member biases the abutting portion against a biasing force of the first biasing member. The bias removing portion removes a bias applied by the second biasing member.

A sheet discharge apparatus includes a discharge and sheet support unit, a detection unit, a rotation member having a first abutting portion positioned above the sheet support unit, and a pressing member provided rotatably independent of the rotation member. The discharge unit nips and discharges a sheet in a sheet discharge direction. The sheet support unit supports the discharged sheet. The rotation member rotates when the first abutting portion is pressed by the sheet. The detection unit detects a position of the rotation member. A second abutting portion of the pressing member abuts against the sheet at a position downstream from a position at which the discharge unit nips the sheet and upstream from the first abutting portion in the sheet discharge direction. The pressing member presses the sheet discharged from the discharge unit downward using the second abutting portion, regardless of a position of the rotation member.

A medium placement device configured to stack a plurality of sheets of a medium discharged from a discharge unit of a processing device, the medium placement device including a plurality of support units being provided in a width direction intersecting with a discharge direction of the medium, and being configured to support, on a support surface from below in a gravitational direction, the medium discharged from the discharge unit. The plurality of support units are provided extending in the discharge direction, and are inclined downward in a gravitational direction from upstream to downstream in the discharge direction, and a first support unit and a second support unit arranged at a lower position in the gravitational direction with respect to the first support unit as viewed in the width direction, the first support unit and the second support unit being arranged alternatingly in the width direction.

A medium placement device is configured to stack a plurality of sheets of a medium discharged from a discharge unit of a processing device. The medium placement device includes a plurality of support units being provided in a width direction intersecting with a discharge direction of the medium discharged from the discharge unit, and being configured to support the medium at a support surface from below in a gravitational direction. A first support unit and a second support unit are provided in an alternating manner in the width direction, the second support unit being arranged at a position lower than the first support unit in the gravitational direction when viewed in the width direction. The first support unit is provided with a bridging member configured to couple a lower side of the discharge unit in the gravitational direction and the support surface of the first support unit.

A medium ejecting apparatus includes an ejection roller to eject medium, a first tray to place the medium ejected by the ejection roller, a second tray provided so as to be pulled out from the first tray, and a stopper accommodated in the first tray together with the second tray in a laid state, rotatably supported at a downstream end portion in a medium ejecting direction of the second tray, and provided with a slid portion. The first tray is provided with a sliding portion to slide with respect to the slid portion in response to an operation in which the second tray is pulled out from the first tray to raise the stopper.

Provided is a printing apparatus comprising: a discharging unit configured to convey and discharge print media; a tray configured to receive print media discharged in a first direction from the discharging unit; and a drive unit configured to move the tray in a second direction perpendicular to the first direction. In discharging print media, the tray is moved in the second direction to thereby receive the discharged print media at a plurality of different positions on the tray. The tray is movable to a take-out position being a position closer in the second direction to a take-out side where print media are taken out than any of the positions at which the tray receives the print media discharged from the discharging unit.

A sheet storage device includes a sheet positioning member that is movable in a first direction, and positions a sheet by abutting on a side end portion of the sheet at a side in the first direction. The sheet positioning member includes a moving body, an abutting portion, a first and a second biasing member, and a bias removing portion. The moving body is configured to move in the first direction. The abutting portion is supported by the moving body to be movable in the first direction and configured to abut on the side end portion when the sheet positioning member positions the sheet. The first biasing member biases the abutting portion toward the side end portion. The second biasing member biases the abutting portion against a biasing force of the first biasing member. The bias removing portion removes a bias applied by the second biasing member.

A recording apparatus includes: an apparatus main body that includes a recording unit; a medium-receiving tray that is configured to be switched between a first state and a second state; and a motor, in which the medium-receiving tray includes a first tray, a second tray that is configured to be displaced with respect to the first tray and that is positioned further than the first tray from the apparatus main body when the medium-receiving tray is in the second state, a pinion gear engaged with a first rack formed in the first tray in a displacement direction of the second tray and with a second rack formed in the second tray in the displacement direction, and a displacement section that supports the pinion gear and that is displaced in the displacement direction in response to receiving power from the motor.

A medium ejecting apparatus includes an ejection roller to eject medium, a first tray to place the medium ejected by the ejection roller, a second tray provided so as to be pulled out from the first tray, and a stopper accommodated in the first tray together with the second tray in a laid state, rotatably supported at a downstream end portion in a medium ejecting direction of the second tray, and provided with a slid portion. The first tray is provided with a sliding portion to slide with respect to the slid portion in response to an operation in which the second tray is pulled out from the first tray to raise the stopper.

A sheet sorting apparatus includes a second tray arranged below a first tray detachable from a main body having a first discharge port corresponding to the first tray and a second discharge port corresponding to the second tray, a discharge unit, a tray detecting unit, and a control unit. The discharge unit discharges a sheet toward the first or second discharge port. In a state that the first tray is detached from the main body and the discharge unit discharges sheets from the first discharge port to the second tray and then the first tray is detected as attached to the main body, the control unit selects a discharge destination of a second sheet, subsequent to a first sheet discharged and stacked first after the first tray is attached to the main body, such that the second sheet is stacked on a tray having the first sheet thereon.
