There is provided a sheet processing apparatus that is capable of preventing a stapled sheet bundle from being misaligned at a side edge thereof or becoming torn or wrinkled when the sheet bundle is discharged. The sheet processing apparatus comprises a stapler that staples a sheet bundle comprising a plurality of sheets, downstream discharge rollers that discharge the sheet bundle, a driving motor that drives the downstream discharge rollers, and a controller that controls the driving device. The controller controls discharge of the sheet bundle in different ways between a case where the stapler staples the sheet bundle at one point thereof and a case where the stapler staples the sheet bundle at two points thereof.

Sheet processing apparatus having different discharge control for stapling operation

In an image forming apparatus that folds plural sheets in folio, an image forming unit forms images an a recording area on the sheets and forms a margin between the recording area and another forming area. A projecting unit folds the sheets upon nipping the sheets between two rollers by projecting between the two rollers so as to nip a part of the sheets where the margin is formed at first. The projecting unit projects to the margin of prescribed width of images formed at an image forming apparatus body to fold the plural sheets.

Image forming apparatus

A sheet processing apparatus for stapling multiple sheets with a stapler and delivering the sheets in folio, includes a staple hitting device, a stapler having an anvil opposed to the staple hitting device with respect to a sheet path and a shifting device for shifting the sheet so as to escape a staple from a groove on the anvil after the sheet is stapled by drive of the staple hitting device.

Sheet processing apparatus and image forming apparatus

This invention relates to a sheet processing apparatus for stapling multiple sheets with a stapling means and delivering the sheets in folio, comprising two rollers for folding the sheets in folio and projecting means for projecting between the two rollers to fold the sheets in sandwiching the sheets between the two rollers. One roller of the two rollers, at least, is made movable, and a cam member is further provided capable of correcting a projecting position by the projecting means according to traveling of the roller.
