Abstract:
A sheet processing apparatus comprises a sheet placing section in which recording media are stacked, a storage section configured to record a total amount of toner on the recording media stacked in the sheet placing section, and a control section configured to determine whether or not the recording media stacked in the sheet placing section is likely to stick when a new recording medium is stacked thereon, based on the total amount of toner on the recording media stacked in the sheet placing section.

Claim (Index 7):
A sheet processing apparatus, comprising:\n a sheet tray in which recording sheets are to be stacked; a conveyance mechanism module configured to convey recording sheets to the sheet tray for stacking; an image reader section configured to read image information of each recording sheet on a conveyance path of the conveyance mechanism module before the recording sheet is stacked on the sheet tray; and a controller configured to receive, for each recording sheet to be stacked on the sheet tray, a first value from the image reader corresponding to a number of times an erasing process has been performed on the recording sheet image information and calculate a sum of the first values for recording sheets already stacked on the sheet tray and the first value of a next recording sheet to be stacked in the sheet tray, compare the sum to a predetermined value and stop the stacking of the next recording sheet on the sheet tray when the sum exceeds the threshold value and to continue the stacking of the next recording sheet on the sheet tray when the sum is less than the predetermined value.
