Abstract:
1. A post-processing apparatus comprising: an input section that receives an input condition; a post-processing section that performs stapling processing; a control section that controls the post-processing section based on the input condition; and a tray on which post-processed recording sheets are loaded, wherein the input condition includes mixed-processing information about first processing that involves stapling processing and second processing that does not involve stapling processing, wherein under certain input conditions, the control section loads recording sheets subjected to the first processing and recording sheets subjected to the second processing as a mixture thereof onto the tray in a single job, as requested, based on the input condition; based on the input condition that includes the mixed-processing information, a maximum load capacity is set such that the recording sheets will not fall off the tray; and the control section calculates a load of the recording sheets based on the input condition including the mixed-processing information, judges whether or not the calculated load is greater than the maximum load capacity and changes a mixing ratio between the recording sheets subjected to the first processing and the recording sheets subjected to the second processing when the calculated load is greater than the maximum load.
