Abstract:
A bundle of printing media by eco-stapling often has a smaller thickness than a bundle of printing media by needle stapling by the thickness corresponding to an amount of used staples, although they have the same number of printing media, and there is room capable of stacking bundles in many cases in the eco-stapling. According to an embodiment, when a printing medium that has undergone an image forming process is taken in, stapling processing is performed on the printing medium, and then the printing medium is discharged to the tray, the following process is performed. That is, when the process is performed in accordance with instructed stapling processing, and the printing medium that has undergone the process is discharged outside the apparatus, the amount of printing media stacked on the tray is controlled in accordance with instructed stapling processing.

Claim (Index 7):
The sheet binding processing apparatus according to  claim 4 , wherein the control unit counts a number of bundles of sheets discharged to the stacking unit obtained as a result of performing the first binding processing in a case where the first binding processing is performed and counts a number of bundles of sheets discharged to the stacking unit obtained as a result of performing the second binding processing in a case where the second binding processing is performed.
