Abstract:
There is provided a sheet post-processing apparatus capable of performing eco-stapling processing to prevent a decrease in binding force by the thickness of a sheet with a simple arrangement by changing a stapling count depending on the grammage and size of a sheet and the number of sheets in consideration of the change in binding force caused by the sheet size.

Claim (Index 4):
The apparatus according to  claim 1 , wherein the binding unit includes:\n an upper tooth having a first concave portion and a first convex portion and configured to press a sheet by the first convex portion from above; and a lower tooth having a second concave portion and a second convex portion and configured to press a sheet by the second convex portion from below, the second concave portion and the second convex portion being formed such that the second convex portion is inserted into the first concave portion and the first convex portion is inserted into the second concave portion when the lower tooth meshes with the upper tooth.
