Abstract:
The postprocessing device includes: a stapling unit for stapling a sheet bundle with a staple; a discharge tray to which a bound sheet bundle bound with the staple is to be discharged; a moving member movable in both a direction of approaching the discharge tray and a direction of going away from the discharge tray; and a control section for, when the bound sheet bundle has been discharged, driving the moving member to execute a process of making the moving member hit against the bound sheet bundle or against the discharge tray.

Claim (Index 7):
The postprocessing device according to  claim 1 , wherein\n the discharge tray is movable up and down, in a state that the discharge tray is located at such a position that moving the moving member in a direction of approaching the discharge tray would cause the moving member to be brought into contact with the discharge tray, the control section makes the moving member hit against the discharge tray when the bound sheet bundle has been discharged to the discharge tray; and in a state that the discharge tray is located at such a position that even moving the moving member in the direction of approaching the discharge tray would cause the moving member to remain out of contact with the discharge tray, the control section makes the moving member hit against the bound sheet bundle when the bound sheet bundle has been discharged to the discharge tray.
