The movable fence, the tapping tab, and the jogger fences align the sheet stack according to a plurality of aligning modes.

Abstract: A sheet processing device includes a stapling tray, a rear-end clamp, and a stapler that staples sheets while the rear-end clamp is clamping the sheets. In response to a start signal, the stapler moves to a position where the stapler does not interfere the rear-end clamp while being closest to a stapling position. When the last sheet of a sheet bundle to be stapled is conveyed into the stapling tray, timing at which the stapler moves to the stapling position is determined according to a preset condition.

Abstract: A sheet processing apparatus includes a first processing unit, a second processing unit, a roller, a guide member, and a conveying unit. The first processing unit applies first processing to a recording medium. The second processing unit applies second processing to the recording medium. The roller has a conveying path to convey the recording medium from the first processing unit to the second processing unit along the outer circumference. The guide member guides the recording medium to the conveying path to lead the recording medium to the second processing unit. The conveying unit applies a conveying force to a stack of recording media at an upstream of the guide member in a recording-medium conveying direction.

Abstract: A sheet post-processing apparatus, e.g., that is included in an image forming system, includes: a sheet stacking unit configured to stack a plurality of sheets of one or more printable media; a sheet alignment unit configured to align the plurality of sheets stacked in the sheet stacking unit; a pressing mechanism configured to press and hold the plurality of sheets stacked in the sheet stacking unit; and a stapling unit configured to staple the plurality of sheets aligned by the sheet alignment unit, the stapling unit being displaceable to a given position that avoids interference with the pressing mechanism while the sheet alignment unit performs a sheet alignment with respect to the plurality of sheets in the sheet stacking unit.

Abstract: A sheet processing apparatus may include a conveyance path and a tray. The conveyance path may convey sheets. The tray may receive the sheets conveyed from the conveyance path. The tray may include a stapler and a folding member. The stapler may staple the sheets. The folding member may fold the stapled sheets and may be provided upstream from the stapler relative to a sheet conveyance direction.

Abstract: A sheet punch device for punching a sheet with a punch edge comprises a motor performing a punching operation and a position detection unit detecting a position of the punch edge. A control unit controls the motor and the position detection unit, wherein the control unit causes the position detection unit to detect a position of the punch edge at a time of or prior to a motor stop in a first driving operation of the motor to perform the punching operation, and, when the detected position deviates from a desired position, the control unit performs restarting of the motor so that the punch edge is brought close to the desired position.

Abstract: A perforating apparatus comprising a structure in which replacement can be easily conducted corresponding to the perforation conditions such as the punch holes and number of holes, and in which condition settings and position determination can be automatically recognized during replacement; the perforating apparatus comprises: an orientation correction device that corrects skewing and aligns the front edge by striking the front edge of the paper, a perforation device comprising a punch to conduct perforation processing on the paper; and a lateral registration adjustment device that can adjust, in a direction at a right angle to the direction of movement of the aforementioned paper, the position of the perforation device punch in relation to the paper with orientation corrected using an orientation constraint device prior to perforating by the perforation device, the perforating apparatus comprising a structure in which said perforation device can be inserted into and detached from a non-moving support unit co
