Abstract: A binding processing device includes: a binding processing element that advances a binding tooth to a sheet to perform binding processing of the sheet; and a processor that performs control of drying a bound part of the sheet after the binding processing of the sheet by the binding processing element is performed.

Abstract: A recording material processing apparatus includes: first teeth that are used for binding processing of a recording material bundle; second teeth configured to move toward the first teeth and to press the recording material bundle positioned between the first teeth and the second teeth; a first metal block configured to support the first teeth; and a second metal block configured to support the second teeth.

Abstract: A recording medium processing apparatus includes: first teeth to be used in a process of binding a recording medium bundle; second teeth to be moved toward the first teeth to press the recording medium bundle positioned between the first teeth and the second teeth; and a moving unit that includes a screw moving unit that moves the second teeth with respect to the first teeth by rotating a screw in a circumferential direction, the screw being meshed with an interlocking portion interlocked with the second teeth. A moving speed of the second teeth being moved by the moving unit is varied.

Abstract: A cleaning device includes a cleaning member that includes a cleaning portion that cleans a light transmission member, which has a substantially elongated shape and which transmits light, and a support portion that supports the cleaning portion and a wall portion that is disposed on one end side of the light transmission member in a longitudinal direction of the light transmission member and that has a surface that is formed along a direction that intersects the longitudinal direction of the light transmission member. The cleaning member and the wall portion each have a configuration in which when an end of the cleaning member makes contact with the wall portion and is pressed, the support portion is bent in a convex manner toward a side opposite to a side on which the light transmission member is disposed.

Abstract: A removal mechanism includes a removing member, an accommodation section, a receiver, and a cooling path. The removing member rubs against an extraneous-matter-adhered member, to which extraneous matter is adhered, so as to remove the extraneous matter therefrom. The accommodation section accommodates therein the extraneous matter removed by the removing member. The receiver receives, at a lower side of the accommodation section, the extraneous matter spilling out and dropping from the accommodation section. The cooling path allows gas so flow therethrough so as to cool the accommodation section from outside thereof. The cooling path is spatially isolated from a passage chamber through which the extraneous matter dropping from the accommodation section toward the receiver passes, an accommodation chamber for the extraneous matter in the accommodation section, and a chamber above the receiver that receives the extraneous matter.

Abstract: A booklet storage includes a first storage member that includes a first receiver portion and a second receiver portion connecting with the first receiver portion; and a second storage member that includes a third receiver portion and a fourth receiver portion connecting with the third receiver portion, wherein the first storage member and the second storage member together receive a booklet in combination, and wherein a first width between the first receiver portion or the second receiver portion and the third receiver portion and a second width between the first receiver portion or the second receiver portion and the fourth receiver portion are different from each other.

Abstract: A drawer member that is capable of being drawn out from an image forming apparatus body and that includes a fixing unit that heats and fixes an image onto a recording medium, a first flow path that is formed around the fixing unit and that causes air that is heated by heat, which is discharged from the fixing unit, to circulate, and a second flow path that is formed adjacent to the first flow path on a side opposite to the fixing unit and in which air having a temperature lower than a temperature of air, which circulates in the first flow path, circulates.
