Problems solved by technology

[0007] In addition, since either the auxiliary discharge tray or the main discharge tray is located on the side of the main body of the image forming apparatus, a user who works near the image forming apparatus and the sheet medium processing apparatus needs to move to retrieve (take out) the paper. (A user operating near the image forming apparatus needs to assume an unnatural posture in order to take out the paper at that position)

Abstract

A sheet medium processing apparatus includes a guiding passage connected to a passage branch section which can branch a part of a medium passage directed to a discharge tray section positioned on an image forming apparatus side when a sheet medium is output from the image forming apparatus, and a discharge tray for holding the sheet medium fed through the guiding passage. The discharge tray is positioned lower than the discharge tray section, and at least parts of the passage branch section and the guiding passage section are covered with the discharge tray section.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to an image forming apparatus and a sheet medium processing apparatus that can easily take out a sheet medium on which images or documents are output. Background technique [0002] Image forming apparatuses such as color copiers and printers are provided with a discharge tray for temporarily storing sheet media on which images or documents are output until the user takes them back. [0003] In addition, currently, a finishing device (a sheet medium processing device) that performs, for example, alignment or stapling on outputted sheet media (sheet media processing devices) is widely used. [0004] For example, there has been proposed a finishing device provided with a main discharge tray and an auxiliary discharge tray (for example, refer to Patent Document 1). [0005] Patent Document 1: Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2004-109646 [0006] However, in the finishing device disclosed in Patent Document 1, the main discharge...
