ABSTRACT:
Sheet finishing apparatus constructed to prevent sheet skewing during stacking conveyance, and stack-disarranging sheet slippage. A sheet-stacking tray is disposed forming a break in a discharge path below a discharge outlet. A first discharge roller unit is disposed at the discharge outlet, and a second discharge roller unit is arranged to convey, in cooperation with the first discharge roller unit, sheets downstream to the stacking tray. The second discharge roller unit is supported allowing it to rise and lower between an engage position where it catches sheet(s) on the storage tray, and a retracted position. A registering wall is provided in the stacking tray, for positionally registering the leading/trailing edge of the sheets. A gripper pressingly holds the uppermost sheet stacked on the storage tray, and a controller controls the movement of the gripper between an operational position where it engages the uppermost sheet, and a non-operational retract position.
