Recording material processing apparatus and recording material processing system

A recording material processing system comprising:

• an image forming apparatus that forms an image on a recording material;
• and
• a recording material processing apparatus that forms a fold on a bundle of recording materials formed by stacking the recording materials on each of which the image is formed by the image forming apparatus,
• wherein the recording material processing apparatus comprises:
• a stacker that stacks the recording materials that are sequentially transported to form the bundle of recording materials;
• a pressing member that includes blade sections arranged at intervals in a width direction of the bundle of recording materials, the blade sections pressing portions of the bundle of recording materials, where folds are to be formed, stacked on the stacker, to thereby move the portions of the bundle of recording materials, where the folds are to be formed, in a recording material transport direction;
• a pair of first fold-forming rolls, each of which includes a plurality of rolls arranged at intervals so as to enter between the blade sections when the blade sections press the portions of the bundle of recording materials where folds are to be formed, the pair of first fold-forming rolls forming the folds at intervals by nipping the portions of the bundle of recording materials, where folds are to be formed, having been pressed by the blade sections;
• and
• a pair of second fold-forming rolls provided at a downstream side of the pair of first fold-forming rolls in the recording material transport direction, each of which includes a plurality of rolls arranged at intervals so as to correspond to positions where the blade sections of the pressing member are arranged, the pair of second fold-forming rolls further forming the folds on the bundle of recording materials by nipping portions of the bundle of recording materials, which exist between the folds formed by the pair of first fold-forming rolls.
