Abstract
The present invention is to provide a sheet aligning apparatus that is capable of detecting misalignment. A control portion of a post-processing apparatus causes a front aligning member and a rear aligning member to be moved to an aligning position to align sheets conveyed to a processing tray, and determines whether an electrostatic capacitance sensor detects misalignment (sheet shifting from a sheet bundle). After the control portion determines that there is no misalignment, the control portion performs detection strength adjusting for a sensor and initial value setting for detecting misalignment of a next sheet.
