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 1):
A sheet processing apparatus comprising:\n a binding unit configured to perform binding processing for a sheet bundle without using a staple; an obtaining unit configured to obtain information about grammage values of sheets forming the sheet bundle; and a control unit configured to control the binding unit to allow a change in a binding count of the binding unit in accordance with information about the grammage values of outermost sheets of the sheet bundle, the information being obtained by the obtaining unit, if the obtaining unit obtains information indicating that the sheet bundle is made of sheets having a plurality of different grammage values.
