  • Patent number: 9676582
    Abstract: In a sheet-processing apparatus, a controller controls a conveying guide to change over a sheet-conveying path of sheets that are ejected without stapling them to a sheet-processing conveying path based on predetermined sheet-conveying path selection information when judging that a non-stapling mode in which the sheet stapling processing is not performed on a first type of sheets follows a stapling mode in which the sheet-stapling processing is performed on a second type of sheets. The first type of sheets, which are not to be stapled, conveyed on the sheet-processing conveying path waits on a waiting portion in the non-processing mode while in the processing mode, a sheet-processing portion performs the sheet processing on the second type of sheets.
