Abstract
A finisher provided with a punching mechanism for punching a sheet ejected from a copying machine and a stapling mechanism for stapling sheets.

The stapling mechanism staples sheets by hitting a staple at a corner portion near the reference side of the sheets such that at least one end of the staple is located between the punched point and the reference side of the sheets.
