A stacking device which is detachably attached to an apparatus body of an image forming apparatus having an abutting member that abuts on a recording material and on which a recording material is stacked includes: a first supporting unit that supports the recording material from a lower side of the recording material; and a second supporting unit that supports an end of the recording material in an attachment/detachment direction of the stacking device. The second supporting unit includes a corresponding region, and a position of the corresponding region agrees with a position of the abutting member abut with the recording material in a width direction which is orthogonal to the attachment/detachment direction. At least a height of the corresponding region in a direction orthogonal to the attachment/detachment direction and the width direction is lower than a height of the abutting member.

According to an embodiment, a sheet processing apparatus includes a transport unit and a holding unit. The transport unit transports a first sheet to a first position. The transport unit transports a second sheet, which is transported after the first sheet, to a second position displaced to the upstream side of a sheet transport direction relative to the first position. The transport unit transports a third sheet, which is transported after the second sheet, to a third position displaced to the downstream side of the sheet transport direction relative to the second position. In the case where the second sheet is transported to the second position, the holding unit holds the first sheet at the first position. In the case where the third sheet is transported to the third position, the holding unit holds the second sheet at the second position.

In the case where the second sheet is transported to the second position, the holding unit holds the first sheet at the first position. In the case where the third sheet is transported to the third position, the holding unit holds the second sheet at the second position.

A post-processing apparatus includes a first discharge section configured to discharge a medium having thereon information recorded by a recording section, a processing tray configured to be loaded with the medium discharged by the first discharge section, an edge alignment section disposed on the processing tray, a transport section making contact with an upper surface of the medium mounted on the processing tray and configured to transport the medium to the edge alignment section, a position change section configured to change a relative position of the transport section with respect to the processing tray, and a controller configured to change pressure of when the transport section presses the medium by controlling the position change section, and a post-processing section configured to perform post-processing on the medium on the processing tray, wherein the controller changes the pressure based on processing information regarding processing to be performed on the medium.

A sheet handling apparatus configured to feed sheets from outside into the sheet handling apparatus, transport the fed sheets in a storage area which is outside of a storage bag in the sheet handling apparatus and store the transported sheets in the storage bag includes: a holder configured to be capable of detachably holding the storage bag; a pushing member configured to push a plurality of sheets transported in the storage area into the storage bag through the opening of the storage bag; and a pressing member configured to press the sheets stored in the storage bag held by the holder.

An example finisher includes a first portion extending in a vertical direction and including a height adjustment unit, a second portion extending from the first portion in a lateral direction and including a finishing unit to perform a finishing process, and a stacker to receive paper discharged from the finishing unit, the stacker extending in an opposite direction to the second portion in the lateral direction. The height adjustment unit is to adjust a height of the second portion from an installation surface and includes a base plate including a horizontal slot, a guide plate including an inclined slot, and a slide lever coupling the horizontal slot and the inclined slot.

An image forming apparatus includes an apparatus main body, an output tray, and a holding member. The output tray is rotatable about a first rotation shaft between a closed position and an open position. The holding member is rotatable about a second rotation shaft. The output tray comes into contact with the holding member halfway through rotation of the output tray from the closed to the open position. When the output tray is rotated to the open position, the holding member rotates to a retracted position while being in contact with the output tray. When viewed in a direction crossing a recording-material discharge direction, the first rotation shaft is located downstream from the second rotation shaft in the discharge direction, and a center of gravity of the holding member is located downstream from the second rotation shaft in the discharge direction when the holding member is at the retracted position.
