    摘要: A medication support apparatus includes a container, a medicine distribution member, a port, a take-out device, and a transfer device. The container is configured to store one-dose packages of medicines. The medicine distribution member includes a plurality of partitions configured to separately include the one-dose packages of medicines. The medicine distribution member is configured to enter and exit the medication support apparatus through the port. The take-out device is configured to take out a specific one of the one-dose packages of medicines from the container. The transfer device is configured to transfer the specific one of the one-dose packages of medicines taken out from the container. The one-dose packages of medicines are configured to be placed at predetermined positions partitioned by the plurality of partitions in the medicine distribution member.

    摘要: A sheet feeder includes a stacker, a sheet feeding member, an aligner, a switcher, a size specifying unit, and circuitry. The sheet feeding member contacts and feeds a sheet stack on the stacker. The aligner is movable to align a position in a sheet width direction of the sheet stack on the stacker. The switcher switches the aligner from a separation state to a contact state without waiting for a feeding start instruction after the sheet stack is stacked on the stacker. The circuitry delays a switching completion time when the size in the sheet width direction of the sheet stack specified by the size specifying unit is smaller than a given size, to be later than the switching completion time when the size in the sheet width direction of the sheet stack is equal to or greater than the given size.
