Abstract: A sheet perforating apparatus includes a punch unit configured to punch holes in a sheet from an image processing apparatus. A dust box is below the punch unit and detachably attached to a case. A lid member is attached to the dust box and is displaceable between a closed state, in which the lid member closes an opening of the dust box, and an open state, in which the lid member does not close the opening of the dust box. When in the open state, the lid member is electrically grounded to weaken static electricity of punch chips dropped from the punch unit to the lid member and directs the punch chips towards the opening.

Abstract: A printing apparatus includes a tray on which a first medium, a decoration to decorate the first medium, and a second medium placed on the first medium and the second decoration are placed, a heating section, an image forming device and a processor, the first medium or the second medium containing an adhesive. A toner image is formed on at least one of the first medium or the second medium. The processor is configured to heat the heating section to a first temperature to bond to each other the first medium, the decoration and the second medium in such a manner that the decoration is sandwiched between the first medium and the second medium, and to heat the heating section to a second temperature lower than the first temperature to fix the toner image on at least one of the first medium or the second medium bonded to each other.

Abstract: An image forming apparatus in an example comprises a sheet supply section configured to supply a sheet to a sheet conveyance path, and a cover supply section configured to supply a cover to the sheet conveyance path. The cover is designed to cover at least a part of a peripheral portion of the sheet. A registration roller is on the sheet conveyance path presses the cover onto the sheet to form a laminated body. A sensor detects the cover and the sheet at the registration roller and issues a detection signal. A controller is configured to drive the registration roller according to the detection signal to form the laminated body. An image forming section forms an image on the sheet of the laminated body. A fixing section on the sheet conveyance path heats the laminated body to fix the image onto the sheet.

Abstract: A sheet processing apparatus includes a first holding unit configured to hold one or more sheets and movable in a sheet transport direction, a first drive unit configured to move the first holding unit in a first direction along the sheet transport direction, a biasing member that biases the first holding unit in a second direction opposite to the first direction, and an energy storage unit that stores energy discharged from the biasing member.

Abstract: A sheet processing apparatus includes a transfer section, a fixing section, a feed section, a discharge port, an upstream side retention section, a downstream side retention section and a controller. The upstream side retention section is arranged at the upstream side with respect to the transfer section and retains a sheet conveyed from the feed section. The downstream side retention section is arranged at the downstream side with respect to the fixing section and retains the sheet conveyed from the fixing section. The controller stops conveyance of the sheet to the discharge port. The controller controls discharging of the front end of the sheet retained at a most downstream side to the discharge port, conveys the sheet from the upstream side retention section to the downstream side retention section, and conveys the sheet from the feed section to the upstream side retention section.

Abstract: A sheet post-processing apparatus includes a sheet folding unit and a binding processing unit. The sheet folding unit is located along a conveyance path of a sheet to be folded and performs folding processing on the sheet to form a folded body having a fold along a direction crossing a sheet conveyance direction. The binding processing unit is located downstream of the sheet folding unit in the sheet conveyance direction and performs binding processing on the folded body to bind a lateral side of the folded body.

Abstract: A sheet processing apparatus includes a first holding unit configured to hold one or more sheets and movable in a sheet transport direction, a first drive unit configured to move the first holding unit in a first direction along the sheet transport direction, a biasing member that biases the first holding unit in a second direction opposite to the first direction, and an energy storage unit that stores energy discharged from the biasing member.
