Abstract
A post-processing apparatus to perform a post-processing for a sheet conveyed from an image forming apparatus includes a punching unit, first and second motors, and a control unit. The punching unit includes a punch that is rotated by the first motor to punch the sheet, and a moving unit moved by the second motor to move the punch in a width direction intersecting with a sheet conveying direction. The control unit controls at least the first motor. In a first section from a first position in which the punch starts punching the sheet to a second position in which the punching ends, the control unit sets a current value for driving the first motor to a first current value. In a second section other than the first section, the control unit can set the first motor driving current value to a second current value lower than the first current value.
