Claim:
A sheet processing apparatus comprising: a sheet discharge member adapted to discharge a sheet; a sheet-carrying unit adapted to carry the sheet discharged by the sheet discharge member; a moving member adapted to move the sheet discharged to the sheet-carrying unit in a first direction intersecting a sheet discharging direction and in a second direction opposite to the first direction; and a control unit adapted to control movement of the moving member, wherein based on information that the sheet is a punched sheet in which a hole is formed, the control unit moves the moving member to move a sheet discharged by the sheet discharge member in the first direction before a succeeding sheet is discharged to the sheet-carrying unit by the sheet discharge member, and the control unit moves the moving member to move the sheet to a predetermined position by moving the sheet in the second direction after the succeeding sheet is discharged to the sheet-carrying unit by the sheet discharge member.
