Abstract
A sheet post-processing apparatus includes a head unit and an anvil unit movably disposed in a direction traversing the sheet discharge direction to provide a staple into a sheet bundle. A gap detecting device for detecting a gap between the head part and the anvil part is formed. If the gap is insufficient, the head part and the anvil part are not moved relative to the sheet bundle.
