Abstract
A driving roller for conveying a sheet to a sheet punching unit, and a sheet inverting unit including a driving roll capable of being driven to rotate by the driving roller are provided between a branching point, at which a return path of a sheet conveying path is branched, and a sheet punching unit. When a subsequent sheet for which a punching process is performed next reaches the sheet inverting unit, the sheet to which the punching process has been performed by the sheet punching unit is conveyed to the return path by the driving roll while making the sheet pass by a subsequent sheet conveyed to the sheet punching unit by the driving roller.
