ABSTRACT:
A sheet alignment device, that is included in a sheet finishing apparatus integrally mounted with an image forming apparatus to an image forming system or connected to the image forming apparatus, includes an accommodating unit configured to temporarily accommodate a paper sheet and a paper sheet stack including the paper sheet therein, and a sheet alignment unit configured to align the sheet stack including the paper sheet in a direction perpendicular to a sheet travel direction. The sheet alignment unit has a first alignment member configured to move between a sheet receiving position and a sheet alignment position along the direction perpendicular to the sheet travel direction so as to push the sheet stack and a second alignment member configured to move to a fixed position and remain stationary thereat so as to stop the sheet stack pushed by the first alignment member.
