Abstract

A post-processing apparatus includes a conveyance portion, a processing tray, a post-processing portion, a discharge tray, a discharge portion, and a control portion. The discharge portion includes an arm, a driving roller, and a driven roller. When stacking a sheet on the processing tray, the control portion brings the driving roller into contact with the sheet. Except when the sheet as the target of post-processing is retracted onto the processing tray, the control portion sets the downward movement speed of the driving roller to a normal speed. When the sheet as the target of post-processing is retracted onto the processing tray, the control portion sets the downward movement speed of the driving roller to a speed lower than the normal speed.
