    Abstract: A medium transporting apparatus includes a first tray on which a medium discharged with a pair of discharge rollers that discharges a medium is mounted, a guide member that contacts the medium, which is discharge with the pair of discharge rollers, from above, and that guides the medium to the first tray, and a width direction matching member that matches an end portion of the medium, which has been discharged on the first tray, in the width direction that intersects a discharge direction of the medium. The guide member and the width direction matching member move in the width direction in an interlocked manner.

    Abstract: A stacking unit includes a processing tray, an alignment section, a transport section, and a moving section. The processing tray has a placement area in which one or more paper sheets are placed. The alignment section aligns leading edges of the paper sheets. The transport section transports the paper sheets to the alignment section. The moving section moves the paper sheets in ±X directions. The alignment section includes: a first alignment surface having a first friction coefficient; and a second alignment surface having a second friction coefficient. The second alignment surface is positioned upstream of the first alignment surface in a +A direction and closer to a center of the placement area in the ±X directions than the first alignment surface is.

    Abstract: Embodiments are directed to a dispensing device and methods of using a dispensing device having an improved out indicator. The dispensing device includes a housing having a cavity. A tissue stack is disposed within the cavity, the tissue stack including a plurality of tissue sheets folded along a crease. An aperture is formed in a top surface of the housing such that a tissue sheet is removable from the cavity through the aperture. A portion of the tissue sheets includes an out indicator formed along a centerline of each tissue sheet and across the crease.

    Abstract: A discharging device includes an aligning unit for aligning stacked sheets as a sheet bundle, a discharging unit for discharging the sheet bundle, a discharged tray on which the sheet discharged by the discharging unit is stacked, and a support unit. The support unit supports the sheet bundle from below by extending in a sheet discharging direction of the sheet bundle while the sheet bundle is discharged to the discharged tray and to be accommodated in a direction opposite to the sheet discharging direction at timing when the discharging unit finishes discharging the sheet bundle.

    Abstract: A sheet stacking device includes a sheet outlet, a lower discharge roller, and a paddle member. The paddle member is disposed coaxially to a rotation shaft of the lower discharge roller, and is driven to rotate independently of the lower discharge roller in the same direction as the lower discharge roller, so as to contact downward an upstream part in a discharging direction of a sheet discharged through the sheet outlet. The paddle member includes a base part in which the rotation shaft is inserted, an arm part protruding in a direction separating from an axis center of the base part, and a paddle elastic part protruding from the arm part. A rotation speed of the paddle member is the same as a rotation speed of a discharge roller pair when the sheet passes through a nip of the discharge roller pair.

    Abstract: The relay conveyance device includes a relay conveyance path, a plurality of conveyance members, at least one detection member and a control device. The control device executes a correction processing such that, in a state where a first sheet and a second sheet positioned at the upstream side from the first sheet are conveyed along the relay conveyance path, a sheet interval from a detection end of the first sheet by the detection member to a detection start of the second sheet by the detection member is compared with a predetermined target value, when the sheet interval is smaller than the target value, the conveyance speed of the conveyance member is decreased so as to widen the sheet interval, and when the sheet interval is larger than the target value, the conveyance speed of the conveyance member is increased so as to shorten the sheet interval.
