    Abstract: A sheet stacker includes a tray to store a stack of sheets, a conveyor above the tray, a leading end guide above the tray, and an air exhaust. The conveyor conveys a sheet in a conveyance direction. The leading end guide is downstream from the conveyor in the conveyance direction. The leading end guide guides the sheet from the conveyor to the tray. The air exhaust exhausts air above an upper surface of the stack of sheets on the tray to an upstream from the tray in the conveyance direction. Further, the leading end guide holds a leading end of the sheet conveyed by the conveyor at a holding position and releases the leading end of the sheet at a release position downstream from the holding position in the conveyance direction.

    Abstract: A sheet processing apparatus includes a folding unit, a fold reinforcing unit, and a control unit. The folding unit folds a sheet and forms a fold line thereon. The fold reinforcing unit includes a fold reinforcing roller. The fold reinforcing roller sandwiches the fold line on the sheet formed by the folding unit and moves in a fold-line direction in which the fold line extends. The control unit moves the fold reinforcing roller from a first position close to a first end of the fold line on a first side in the fold-line direction to a second position close to a second end of the fold line on a second side opposite to the first side. The control unit can execute, at this time, a division movement mode including a reversal return operation. The reversal return operation is an operation of reversing a movement direction of the fold reinforcing roller to the first side at a middle portion of the fold line and then returning the movement direction of the fold reinforcing roller to the second side.

    Abstract: A conveyance apparatus includes a set unit, a conveyance unit, a first sensor, a control unit, and a platen. The set unit allows a roll sheet to be set. The conveyance unit convey the roll sheet. The first sensor acquires data to be used to identify a type of the roll sheet during sheet conveyance by the conveyance unit. The control unit controls an operation on the roll sheet based on a result of the data acquisition by the first sensor. The platen supports the roll sheet. The first sensor is disposed between a position at which the roll sheet is set and the platen on a conveyance path of the roll sheet.
