Abstract:
A sheet processing apparatus according to an embodiment includes an image reading unit that reads an image of a sheet. A sheet discharge tray receives a sheet read by the image reading unit. A measurement unit measures a total weight of sheets on the sheet discharge tray. A read counter counts a number of all sheets read by the image reading unit. The read counter stores the number of the currently read sheet in association with the measured total weight of the sheets on the sheet discharge tray. A measured value comparison unit compares the current measured weight of the sheets and a stored measured weight stored in association with the number of the read sheet immediately preceding the currently read sheet. A dropped page identification unit identifies, by page number, one or more sheets dropped from the sheet discharge unit based on the comparison result.

Claim (Index 10):
The apparatus according to  claim 9 , wherein:\n if the measured total weight is determined to be the same as the stored measured weight, the dropped page identification unit identifies the currently discharged sheet as the dropped sheet, and if the measured total weight is determined to be less than the stored measured weight, the dropped page identification unit identifies at least the currently discharged sheet and the sheet discharged immediately preceding the currently discharged sheet as the dropped sheets.
