ABSTRACT:
In a finisher for an image forming apparatus, when a staple mode is selected, sheets are sequentially stacked on a stacker while being turned over. In a corner staple mode, a stapler staples the sheets stacked on the stacker at the side facing the first page of the sheet stack. The stapled sheet stack is driven out to a first tray. In a center staple mode, after the sheet stack has been stapled, it is folded double at its center by a fold edge, then pressed by a press roller pair, and then driven out to a second tray.
