Abstract
An electric stapler includes a clamp part that is configured to include a first wall portion and a second wall portion for gripping a paper bundle, a penetration part that causes a staple to penetrate the paper bundle gripped by the clamp part, a clinch part that bends the staple penetrating the paper bundle to bind the paper bundle, a gripping release detection unit that detects that the paper bundle is released from gripping after the first wall portion moves in the direction of separating from the second wall portion from a state where the paper bundle is gripped by the clamp part; and an output unit that, after it is detected that the paper bundle is released from gripping of the clamp part, outputs a gripping release signal indicating that the paper bundle is released from gripping of the clamp part to an outside.
