SHEET PROCESSING APPARATUS THAT PERFORMS POST-PROCESSING, AND IMAGE FORMING SYSTEM HAVING THE SAME

摘要

A sheet processing apparatus capable of determining whether or not a press operation is to be performed on a folded part of a sheet bundle according to the number of sheets of the sheet bundle. If a folding priority mode is not set on a selection screen displayed on a display unit of the sheet processing apparatus, a controller of the sheet processing apparatus determines whether or not the number of sheets of the sheet bundle indicated in sheet bundle information is equal to or larger than a threshold value. The controller sets a press mode in the sheet bundle information to “press,” if the number of sheets of the sheet bundle is equal to or larger than the threshold value, and sets the press mode to “pressless,” if the number of sheets of the sheet bundle is less than the threshold value.

1. A sheet processing apparatus comprising:
a stacking unit configured to stack sheets thereon to form a sheet bundle; a folding unit configured to fold the sheet bundle formed by said stacking unit; a press unit configured to perform press processing to press a folded part of the sheet bundle folded by said folding unit; a setting unit configured to set an operation mode of said press unit; and a control unit configured, in a case where the operation mode of said press unit is set to a predetermined mode by said setting unit, to control said press unit to perform the press processing on the folded sheet bundle, and configured, in a case where the operation mode of said press unit is set to a mode other than the predetermined mode by said setting unit, to determine based on the number of sheets of the sheet bundle whether the press processing is to be performed on the sheet bundle and control said press unit accordingly.
