Abstract
A post processing apparatus includes a first sheet stacking portion, a stapling portion, a driving portion, and an airflow generating portion. The first sheet stacking portion stacks the sheets conveyed from an image forming apparatus that forms images on the sheets. The stapling portion is provided below a sheet conveying path leading to the first sheet stacking portion so as to be able to move along a width direction of the sheet orthogonal to a conveying direction of the sheet, and is configured to bundle sheets stacked on the first sheet stacking portion. The driving portion generates a driving force that moves the stapling portion according to the power supply. The airflow generating portion generates an airflow that flows into a movement space of the stapling portion via the driving portion.
