Abstract

A sheet post-processing apparatus includes stacking device for stacking sheet materials discharged; a processing device for processing the sheet materials stacked on the stacking device; a discharging device for discharging from the stacking device the sheet materials processed by the processing device when a processing mode is selected; an accommodating device, movable substantially vertically, for accommodating sheet materials discharged by the discharging device; a second discharging device for discharging, in the processing mode, the sheet materials so that the sheet materials are bridged between the stacking device and the accommodating device, and for discharging, in a non-processing mode, the sheet materials so that they are stacked on the accommodating device.
