Abstract: A medium feeding device includes: a load unit that is loaded with multiple media; a delivering unit that delivers an uppermost medium of the media loaded on the load unit in a predetermined feeding direction; an ascent-descent unit that causes at least a part of the load unit to ascend and descend about a pivot point defined by a position of the load unit located away from a leading edge of the media in the feeding direction; a regulating unit that is provided toward the feeding direction of the media on the load unit and that comes into contact with the leading edge, in the feeding direction, of the media loaded on the load unit to regulate a loading position of the media; and a blocking unit that allows the load unit to ascend and descend and that blocks at least a part of a gap between the load unit and the regulating unit at an arbitrary ascent or descent position of the load unit.

Abstract: A post-processing apparatus includes: a buffer unit that transports sheets such that at least two of the sheets are transported while being stacked on top of one another, the sheets being sent to the buffer unit from an image forming unit; and a compilation tray that is inclined with respect to a direction opposite to a direction in which the sheets are transported in the buffer unit such that the sheets, which are supplied from the buffer unit, are transported into the compilation tray from above the compilation tray and stacked onto a placement surface as a stack of sheets.

Abstract: A post-processing apparatus includes a blade that is to be pressed against a recording medium at a folding position where the recording medium is to be folded, and a support portion that supports the blade, the support portion includes a movable body to which the blade is fixed and that moves together with the blade and an insertion portion that is inserted into the movable body, and the insertion portion and one surface of the movable body are pressed each other.

Abstract: A post-processing apparatus includes a guiding unit that faces a placement surface onto which sheets are transported and stacked as a stack of sheets and that is capable of changing a gap in a thickness direction of the stack of sheets, the guiding unit being configured to guide the sheets which are transported, and a controller that controls a size of the gap and a change pattern of the gap.

Abstract: An image forming system that is capable of forming an image onto a sheet on a basis of print image data including multiple image data items imposed in such a manner as to be suitable for middle-folding and saddle-stitching and outputting a booklet by performing middle-folding and saddle-stitching includes: a storing unit that stores beforehand, as an output-processing content table, an inclination direction of a compilation tray onto which a stack of sheets that is to be subjected to imposition processing for pages or a facing page of the booklet and the middle-folding and saddle-stitching is placed; and a processing unit that generates the print image data by acquiring information of the inclination direction of the compilation tray, referencing to the output-processing content table, and performing the imposition processing.
