Abstract
A sheet finishing apparatus of the present invention is composed of, in horizontal matching on a standby tray, a horizontal matching damper portion for mitigating a shock to the side of each of the sheets of paper and a horizontal matching member composed of a horizontal matching plate portion which supports the horizontal matching damper portion and is connected to it via a connection portion having elastic force. Even if the horizontal matching damper portion receives force in the direction of the width of the sheets of paper, it intends to return to its original position, so that smooth horizontal matching can be executed.
