Abstract
A sheet post-processing device includes a conveying member, a processing tray, a processing section, a reference plate, an alignment member, and a frame. The processing tray stacks sheets carried in by the conveying member. The alignment member moves the sheet carried in onto the processing tray in an alignment direction so as to aid alignment of the sheets. The alignment member includes a roller holder, an alignment roller, and a guide member. The guide member has a sheet guide part protruding from a swinging end of the roller holder to the downstream side in the alignment direction than the alignment roller. When the number of the sheets placed on the processing tray varies, an angle of the guide member with respect to the roller holder varies so that a distance between a top sheet placed on the processing tray and the sheet guide part becomes substantially constant.
