Abstract
A sheet post-treating apparatus includes a gripper that moves a pile of sheets from a sorting tray to a discharge tray. The position of the pile of sheets on the tray is selected between alternative discharge positions so that successive piles can be jogged. A stapler is provided along the path to a discharge position to engage the edge of the pile if stapling is desired.
