Abstract
A sheet postprocessing apparatus installed in a copy machine includes a sheet pressing arm for pressing sheets on a sheet receiver from above towards the sheet receiver. When a stapling operation is carried out on the sheets stored on the sheet receiver, the sheets are fixed by the sheet pressing arm. The stable further process after copying can be carried out, thereby making the quality of the bundle of sheets which has undergone the stapling operation stabilize.
