A post-processing apparatus includes a side edge part removing portion that removes a side edge part from a sheet; a side edge part housing portion that houses the removed side edge part and is able to be pulled out from an apparatus body; a guide plate that is inclined in a direction intersecting with a moving direction of the side edge part and guides the removed side edge part along the moving direction to the housing portion; and a second guide plate that is arranged between the housing portion and the guide plate, and is transformable into a first form having substantially mountain-shaped inclined surfaces in which both end portions of the second guide plate along the moving direction are lower than a center portion thereof, and a second form having substantially valley-shaped inclined surfaces in which both the end portions are higher than the center portion.

Post-processing apparatus and image forming system

An image reading device includes a transporter transporting a document to a reading position, a first corrector correcting a skew of the document by coming into contact with a leading edge thereof, a radiating unit radiating light to the document, an image-information acquiring unit acquiring image information of the document based on information of light reflected therefrom, a reflector reflecting the radiated light, a leading-edge detector comparing a quantity of light reflected by the reflector with a quantity of light reflected by the document so as to detect the leading edge, a skew-amount calculator calculating a skew amount of the leading edge, and a second corrector correcting a skew of the image information based on the skew amount. The device switches between the skew correction by the first corrector and the skew correction by the second corrector based on document information, the skew amount, or user's selection.

Image reading device, image reading method, and image forming apparatus

A discharge device includes: a discharge unit that discharges a recording medium in a discharge direction; and a forming unit arranged downstream of the discharge unit and adapted to form an oblique corrugation with respect to the discharge direction on the recording medium.

Discharge device and image forming apparatus

An image forming apparatus that forms an image on a recording paper fed from a paper cassette, the apparatus comprises: a housing that accommodates the paper cassette to be drawn toward the front side of the housing and has an opening in the side surface of the housing; and a lid body including a covering part and a sliding part that slidably supports the covering part, the covering part having a member that covers the opening of the side surface of the housing and projects toward the inner side than the opening, the covering part and the sliding part integrally separating from the opening, and the covering part sliding in parallel to the opening.

Image forming apparatus

A sheet material feeding device comprises a sheet material housing part housing a sheet bundle having a plurality of sheet being stacked; a conveying-out unit press-contacting onto the front edge side of the upper surface of the sheet bundle to exert a push-out force, feeding a sheet by the push-out force in a predetermined conveying-out direction, and separating the sheet from the sheet bundle; a feeding unit arranged on the downstream side of the sheet material housing part along the conveying-out direction and continuing the feeding of the sheet, and after the conveying-out unit moves away from the rear edge of a preceding sheet, the conveying-out unit conveys a following sheet in a state that the following sheet is overlapped at the lower side of the preceding sheet until the front edge of the following sheet reaches a predetermined guide position set between the sheet bundle and the feeding unit.
