Abstract
There is disclosed a sheet post-processing device which can staple a corner of a sheet bunch conveyed from an image forming device and makes a transverse width of a housing smaller or compact. By disposing a stapler in one end on a sheet processing tray inside a sheet conveying port, the transverse width of the housing is made smaller. For this purpose, the sheet post-processing stores sheets conveyed from the image forming device, matches the sheet bunch stored staples the matched sheet bunch and transfers the matched sheet bunch toward the other end of the sheet bunch and subsequently transfers the stapled sheet bunch toward one end of the sheet bunch.
