A sheet discharge device, comprising:
- at least one processor;
- a conveyance unit configured to convey a sheet along a conveyance path;
- a discharge unit to which the sheet is discharged;
- a storage unit that is provided in a middle of the conveyance path and temporarily stores the sheet;
- an alignment unit provided in the discharge unit and configured to align the sheet in a width direction intersecting a convey direction of the sheet,
- wherein
- the processor is configured to change a method of aligning the sheets by the alignment unit between a case where storage control for storing the sheets in the storage unit is performed and a case where the storage control is not performed.
A sheet discharge device, comprising:
- at least one processor;
- a conveyance unit configured to convey a sheet along a conveyance path;
- a discharge unit to which the sheet is discharged;
- and
- a processing unit provided in the discharge unit and configured to perform processing on the sheet,
- wherein
- the processor is configured to discharge the sheets one by one to the discharge unit and execute one processing on two or more sheets discharged to the discharge unit by the processing unit, and
- wherein the processor causes an odd-numbered or even-numbered sheet in a number of conveyed sheets to stand by in a middle of the conveyance path until the sheet does not interfere with a rear sheet conveyed after the odd-numbered or even-numbered sheet once per two sheets conveyed on the conveyance path.
