ABSTRACT:
A sheet finishing apparatus for finishing sheets ejected from an image forming apparatus, which has a sheet conveyor, a stacker, a sheet stopper at a lower end of the stacker, a movable alignment plate on at least one side edge position of the sheets. The apparatus further includes a driver for driving the movable alignment plate, a stapler. The apparatus is provided with a controller for controlling the driver such that the movable alignment plate is moved to a first position to receive the sheets, at which the plate is located outside one edge of a width direction of the sheets by a predetermined distance, when the sheets are conveyed onto the stacker from the sheet conveyor; the plate is moved to a second position to align the width direction of a first sheet of a plurality of successive sheets, at which the plate is located closer to the one edge of the sheets than the first position, when the first sheet advances on the stacker toward the sheet stopper; and the plate is moved to a third position to push the one edge of the sheets for alignment after a second and later sheets collide with the sheet stopper.
