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 7):
The apparatus according to  claim 1 , further comprising a selection unit configured to select one of a first binding strength and a second binding strength higher than the first binding strength to perform binding processing of the stapling unit,\n wherein if binding processing with the second binding strength is selected, the control unit changes a binding count of the binding unit to a count larger than one in accordance with the obtained grammage values of the outermost sheets of the sheet bundle.
