Abstract
A post-processing apparatus includes a conveyance path, a buffer unit, a post-processing unit, and a processor. The conveyance path receives a sheet conveyed from a conveyance apparatus in a stage preceding the post-processing apparatus. The buffer unit forms a sheet bundle constituted by sheets. The post-processing unit loads the sheet bundle performs post-processing on the sheet bundle. The processor controls conveyance of the sheets and the sheet bundle and obtains, in a case of a delay amount, a delay amount of the sheet conveyed from the conveyance apparatus in the stage or a delay amount of a preceding other sheet bundle conveyed from the buffer unit to the post-processing unit. The processor sets a shift amount between plural sheets based on the delay amount obtained by the at least one processor.
