Abstract
A sheet discharge apparatus includes a discharge device for discharging a sheet, a storage device for receiving the sheet discharged from the discharge device, and an alignment reference member for aligning at least one side of the sheet discharged to the storage device. A rotating body is arranged to rotate in a direction different from a direction that the discharge device discharges the sheet. The rotating body contacts the sheet before the sheet discharged from the discharge device to the storage device is placed on the storage device so that the sheet discharged to the storage device is moved to the alignment reference member.
