Abstract
A sheet processing apparatus includes a stacking section provided on the downstream side of a collecting section in a transport direction outside an apparatus housing, an alignment section provided on the downstream side of the collecting section in the transport direction, above the stacking section, to be able to shift in a predetermined movable region so as to align a sheet width direction orthogonal to the transport direction of the sheet to be stacked on the stacking section, a shaft-direction drive mechanism for shifting the alignment section in the width direction orthogonal to the transport direction, an alignment plate rotation shaft member for axially supporting the alignment section rotatably, a shaft-direction drive source for operating the shaft-direction drive mechanism, and a neat housing for storing the shaft-direction drive mechanism and the alignment plate rotation shaft member inside the housing.
