Abstract: According to one embodiment, a sheet processing device includes a folding unit and a fold-enhancing unit. The folding unit folds a sheet and thus forms a fold line thereon. The fold-enhancing unit includes a fold-enhancing roller, an opposite member, and an auxiliary roller. The fold-enhancing roller moves along a fold-line direction in which the fold line on the sheet formed by the folding unit extends. The opposite member sandwiches the fold line with the fold-enhancing roller. The auxiliary roller rolls over the sheet from the same side as the fold-enhancing roller. The auxiliary roller is displaced in a unified manner with the fold-enhancing roller in the fold-line direction and the direction of the thickness of the folded sheet. A drag torque generated by the movement of the fold-enhancing roller in the fold-line direction is higher in the auxiliary roller than in the fold-enhancing roller.

Abstract: A recording-medium-processing apparatus includes an advancing member configured to push a recording-medium batch by advancing toward a portion of the recording-medium batch, the recording-medium batch having a first end and a second end, the portion of the recording-medium batch being located between the first end and the second end; a pressing component configured to press the recording-medium batch that is traveling with a pushed portion of the recording-medium batch leading a movement of the recording-medium batch, the pushed portion being a portion where the recording-medium batch is being pushed by the advancing member; and a transporting component located on a downstream side from the pressing component in a direction of travel of the recording-medium batch and configured to transport toward the downstream side the recording-medium batch that is being pressed by the pressing component. A force that moves the recording-medium batch toward the downstream side in the direction of travel of the recording-medium batch is ineffective for the pressing component with respect to the recording-medium batch; or a speed of transport of the recording-medium batch by the transporting component in the direction of travel is greater than a speed of transport of the recording-medium batch by the pressing component in the direction of travel.
