Abstract
A recording medium processing apparatus includes: first teeth to be used in a process of binding a recording medium bundle; second teeth to be moved toward the first teeth to press the recording medium bundle positioned between the first teeth and the second teeth; and a moving unit that includes a screw moving unit that moves the second teeth with respect to the first teeth by rotating a screw in a circumferential direction, the screw being meshed with an interlocking portion interlocked with the second teeth. A moving speed of the second teeth being moved by the moving unit is varied.

A recording medium processing apparatus comprising:
- first teeth to be used in a process of binding a recording medium bundle;
- second teeth to be moved toward the first teeth to press the recording medium bundle positioned between the first teeth and the second teeth;
- a moving unit that includes a screw moving unit that moves the second teeth with respect to the first teeth by rotating a screw in a circumferential direction, the screw being meshed with an interlocking portion interlocked with the second teeth;
- a position detection sensor configured to detect an amount of rotation of the second teeth;
- and
- a control unit configured to detect a position of the second teeth based on the detected amount of rotation,
- wherein
- a moving speed of the second teeth being moved by the moving unit is varied, and
- the moving unit further includes a different moving unit that moves the second teeth at a high speed compared to the screw moving unit.

- a moving speed of the second teeth being moved by the moving unit is varied, and
- the recording medium processing apparatus further comprises
- a first transfer unit that transfers a drive force to the screw moving unit to rotate the screw in the circumferential direction;
- a second transfer unit that transfers a drive force to the screw moving unit to rotate the screw in the circumferential direction at a high speed compared to the first transfer unit;
- and
- a switching unit that switches between a state in which the screw is rotated by the first transfer unit and a state in which the screw is rotated by the second transfer unit.
