Intersecting guide mechanisms position transported sheets before loading, resolving the trade-off between high throughput and precise alignment.
A sheet processing apparatus aligns paper stacks using movable joggers and reference walls to position sheets accurately for stapling.
Diagonal airflow from multiple holes suppresses sheet curling, ensuring stable discharge and stackability without complex design.
Movable support members resolve the conflict between precise sheet alignment and user access by retracting to clear the loading tray.
A transport apparatus drive section features a protection section that switches between states to cover the mechanism during detachment.
A universal sheet feeder uses a pneumatic suction gantry to transport thin sheets while a base mechanism handles thick stock.
A stacking device forms mixed plate stacks using a pivotable upper transfer mechanism, eliminating manual feeding during printing setup.
Segmented cam mechanisms align mixed-size mail-pieces to prevent jams and damage during high-speed sorting.
A printing apparatus discharge passage extends downstream to guide print media along a controlled trajectory.
An acute angle sheet output face preserves the jogged state of stacked sheets, preventing ragged edges and buckling that occur with vertical trays.
A sheet feeding cassette uses a cam and resilient member to generate controlled retracting force for mounting.
A retractable guide member supports discharged media during transfer, preventing downward folding caused by contact with previously stacked sheets.
A sheet feeding mechanism sequences movable plate and discharge unit movements to reduce transmission load.
A printer lever releases the cover via carriage movement to enable automatic paper discharge.
