a cutting unit configured to cut the sheet in the conveyance path, such that a downstream end portion of the sheet in the conveyance direction is cut along a width direction perpendicular to the conveyance direction; and
a controller,
wherein if the controller performs a job for outputting a product of a single sheet and receives an instruction not to cut the downstream end portion of the sheet by the cutting unit, the controller is configured to cause the roller to convey the sheet toward the sheet processing apparatus without performing the skew correction operation.
