ABSTRACT:
A sheet bending apparatus bends a sheet in a standing state. The apparatus includes: an information obtaining section that obtains a sheet information indicating the type of the sheet; a sheet moving member that has an abutting section capable of abutting the bottom edge of the sheet and vertically moves the sheet with the abutting section; a sheet bending section that is disposed within a range of the movement of the sheet moved by the sheet moving member, has a pushing member extending laterally and intersecting the vertical direction of the sheet, and bends the sheet by causing the pushing member to push a predetermined position of the sheet; and a controlling section that controls an amount of movement of the abutting section according to the type of the sheet to allow the abutting section to abut the predetermined position of the sheet.
