Abstract:
A configuration of a sheet discharge apparatus, a sheet processing apparatus, and an image forming apparatus has a lower discharge tray which stacks a sheet thereon; a pair of discharge rollers which discharge the sheets onto the lower discharge tray; and a changing unit (abutment member, eccentric cam, and discharge angle moving motor) which changes the discharge angle of the pair of discharge rollers, wherein the changing unit changes the discharge angle of the pair of discharge rollers such that a first discharge direction in a first discharge mode which discharges each sheet is closer to the lower discharge tray than a second discharge direction in a second discharge mode which discharges a plurality of overlapped sheets.
