Claim:
1. A print apparatus that binds sheets at corners thereof after images are printed onto the sheets, the print apparatus comprising: a print unit configured to print images onto the sheets; a sheet binding unit configured to perform binding processing at specified corners using any of a first binding unit that performs the binding processing by being displaced to a plurality of positions, and a second binding unit that performs the binding processing at a fixed single position; a reversing unit configured to reverse the sheets via a conveyance path provided for reversing the sheets; and a control unit configured to cause the binding processing to be performed on the sheets that are not reversed by the reversing unit in a case where the binding processing is performed at predetermined corners using the first binding unit, and cause the binding processing to be performed on the sheets that are reversed by the reversing unit in a case where the binding processing is performed at the predetermined corners using the second binding unit, wherein the control unit further permits execution of the binding processing using the first binding unit or the second binding unit in a case where the sheets to be used when the print unit prints the images are sheets of a type permitted to be reversed by the reversing unit, and permits execution of the binding processing using the first binding unit while prohibiting execution of the binding processing with use of the second binding unit in a case where the sheets to be used when the print unit prints the images are sheets of a type prohibited from being reversed by the reversing unit.
