  • Publication number: 20240400337
    Abstract: A sheet processing apparatus includes: an ejection tray; an internal tray; a first conveyor to convey a sheet medium in a first direction in which the sheet medium is ejected to the ejection tray; a second conveyor to come into contact with and separate from sheet media stacked on the internal tray to convey the sheet media in a second direction different from the first direction; a crimp binder downstream from the internal tray in the second direction to execute crimp binding on the sheet media stacked on the internal tray; and control circuitry. When a subsequent sheet medium, which is subsequent to a preceding sheet medium of the sheet media stacked on the internal tray, is conveyed in the first direction while contacting the preceding sheet medium, the control circuitry causes the crimp binder to press a downstream end of the preceding sheet medium in the second direction.
