Abstract:
A sheet cutting apparatus having a movable blade which lowers toward a sheet from above to cut the sheet; and a pushing member which lowers together with the movable blade to push a cut piece of the sheet cut by the movable blade. The pushing member has a plurality of pushing surfaces which are arranged along the tip of the movable blade at a distance from each other, and the plurality of pushing surfaces are in contact with the movable blade and are located upstream from a tip of the movable blade in a moving direction of the movable blade cutting the sheet.
Abstract:
A folded spine of a booklet held by a pair of opposing holding members is deformed by entering a pressing member into a gap between the pair of holding members and bringing the pressing member into pressure contact with the folded spine. In consequence, the folded spine is prevented from receiving an excessive pressing force, and a smooth surface with a width substantially equal to the thickness of the booklet is thus formed on the folded spine, whereby a booklet with a good appearance can be made.

Abstract:
A sheet skew-correcting device includes a sheet-conveying rotation body for conveying a sheet, a skew-correcting member that contacts an end of the sheet conveyed by the sheet-conveying rotation body for correcting skew of the sheet, and a driving unit for moving the skew-correcting member. The skew-correcting member moved in a sheet-conveying direction by the driving unit contacts the end of the sheet conveyed in the sheet-conveying direction by the sheet-conveying rotation body, so as to correct the skew of the sheet.
Abstract:
A sheet processing apparatus includes a holding portion that nips and holds a booklet, which includes folded sheets, by a pair of holding members opposite to each other, and a pressing portion that enters a gap between the pair of holding members to press a spine of the booklet held by the holding portion while moving along the spine of the booklet so as to deform the spine of the booklet, wherein the pressing portion changes its moving direction along the spine of the booklet and changes the pressing position thereof in the thickness direction of the booklet held between the pair of holding members, when the pressing portion deforms the spine of the booklet.
Abstract:
There is provided an image forming system that are capable of preventing a user or operator from forgetting to carry out a maintenance operation based on required sub-maintenance items after execution of a maintenance operation based on an associated maintenance item, such as component replacement, cleaning, or adjustment. A table of maintenance items and sub-maintenance items associated with respective ones of the maintenance items is stored in a ROM. When a CPU determines that a maintenance operation based on a selected one of the maintenance items has been completed, the CPU determines whether or not there is any sub-maintenance item associated with the selected maintenance item, by referring to the table. When it is determined that there is one or more sub-maintenance items associated with the selected maintenance item, a CPU provides control to display the sub-maintenance item or items in an operating/display unit.

Abstract:
A conveying apparatus includes a regulating portion which regulates the opening of the folded sheet bundle, and a conveying portion which pushes the sheet bundle from an upstream side in a conveying direction in a state that the regulating portion regulates the opening of folded sheet bundle.
Abstract:
A sheet processor includes a holding unit for holding a folded batch of sheets, a pressing member for pressing against a folded portion of the batch of sheets, a nipping member for nipping portions of the batch adjacent to the folded portion so as to nip the batch of sheets from opposite directions, and a casing for supporting the pressing member and the nipping member.
