Abstract: A sheet conveying device includes a tray, a device body having a conveying route of a sheet and supporting the tray, a side guide supported by the tray to be movable in a first direction intersecting with a conveying direction of the sheet and contacting an end portion in the first direction of the sheet placed on the tray, a cover rotatable with respect to the device body and covering the conveying route, and a lock lever locking the cover to the device body and provided in a position overlapping the side guide in a second direction intersecting with the conveying direction and the first direction. The lock lever is rotatable between a lock position where the cover is locked and a release position where the cover is released. The side guide includes a first notched portion facing a rotation track of the lock lever with a gap.

Abstract: A post-processing apparatus includes a movable portion and an opposing portion that are arranged to be opposite to each other with a conveyance path through which a sheet is conveyed interposed between the movable portion and the opposing portion, and a restricting member that has a holding surface including an abutment surface against which a sheet abuts, is capable of changing a posture between a first posture in which the holding surface closes the conveyance path and a second posture in which a clearance is formed in at least part of the conveyance path and is attached to a side where the opposing portion is located with respect to the conveyance path, wherein the movable portion processes a sheet positioned at the abutment surface by the restricting member having the first posture by moving toward the opposing portion.

Abstract: A post-processing apparatus performs post-processing on a paper sheet conveyed from a previous stage side, and includes: a corrector that performs bend correction on the paper sheet, in accordance with one of a plurality of bend correction methods; a post-processor that performs the post-processing on the paper sheet subjected to the bend correction performed by the corrector; and a hardware processor that selects one of the plurality of bend correction methods, on the basis of a bend correction accuracy corresponding to a product to be created by the post-processing being performed by the post-processor, and a productivity of the product, wherein from the plurality of bend correction methods, the hardware processor selects a bend correction method that reduces a difference between a post-processing time required for the post-processor to perform the post-processing and a correction time required for the corrector to perform the bend correction on the paper sheet.

Abstract: A transport device for a sheet-format substrate has at least one first substrate feed device and has at least one second substrate feed device. The at least one second substrate feed device comprises at least one forward stop and at least one singulating device. At least one substrate guiding device is arranged between the at least one first substrate feed device and the at least one second substrate feed device. The at least one substrate guiding device has at least one directing element. The at least one directing element is mounted such that it is movable or is moved in two different directions independently of one another.

Abstract: A conveying unit 2including conveyor belts 7, a stopper 3positioning a sheet S at a folding position P on a conveying path 2, a knife-type folding unit 4, an anti-bounce roller unit 16having rollers 25a, 25b, and a motor 22 are provided. The rollers can be moved back and forth. A roller rotational speed monitoring unit 31 and a roller position setting unit 32 operatively connected to the motor are further provided. In setting mode, the rollers are moved from an upstream or a downstream of a tail end of the sheet positioned at the folding position P toward the tail end at a constant speed and stopped when the rotational speed of the rollers changes.

Abstract: In one example, a sheet media alignment system includes: a guide (12) defining a curved media path (14) that extends from an upstream part of the guide to a downstream part of the guide; a movable blocker (16, 56) to block the curved media path (14) at the downstream part of the guide, the blocker movable into and out of a blocking position in which the blocker is spaced from the downstream part of the guide a first distance; and a driver (24, 58) upstream from the curved media path to drive a media sheet into the guide along the curved media path and into the blocker. The driver is spaced from the upstream part of the guide a second distance greater than the first distance such that a media sheet driven into the blocker will buckle between the driver and the guide before it will buckle between the guide and the blocker.

Abstract: A sheet post-processing device includes: an alignment member which aligns a sheet bundle on a stacking tray; and a stapler which performs binding processing on a rear end of the sheet bundle. The stapler includes: a first stapler which moves along the rear end of a first sheet bundle and performs the binding processing on a plurality of positions at the rear end of the first sheet bundle; and a second stapler which performs, at one part of an end portion of the rear end on one side, binding processing different from the first stapler. The alignment member includes: a first alignment member and a second alignment member which align the sheet bundle in a first stacking position; and a third alignment member which is fixed to a position corresponding to the second stapler and which aligns the sheet bundle in a second stacking position with the first alignment member.

Abstract: A conveyance apparatus that conveys a sheet by passing the sheet through a nip formed between a first conveyance roller and a second conveyance roller contacting each other. The conveyance apparatus includes a first gate member, a second gate member, and a third gate member into which a rotational shaft of the first conveyance roller is loosely inserted, the first and second gate members being disposed at a predefined interval, the third gate member being disposed between the first and second gate members. The first, second, and third gate members each include a portion protruding radially outwards, and the protruding portions are positioned on a conveyance path during no sheet conveyance, the protruding portion of the third gate member being positioned upstream of the protruding portions of the first and second gate members in a conveyance direction.

Abstract: A banknote validator having a housing, a validation sensor; and a banknote drive mechanism. The banknote drive mechanism may be arranged to transport a banknote from an input aperture to a stacking device. The banknote drive mechanism may delimit a first banknote pathway proximal to an input aperture, and a second banknote pathway proximal to the stacking device. A pivotable security gate arrangement may be included that is resiliently biased to project into the second banknote pathway.
