A post-processing unit is disposed so as to face the apparatus side surface of a printer that has a manual feed tray protruding from the apparatus side surface. The post-processing unit has an ejection tray, which is movably provided in a unit body and to which paper accepted from the printer is ejected. In an apparatus height direction crossing a direction in which paper is ejected, the ejection tray can be moved to a first position at which ejected paper can be mounted and to a second position at which part of paper mounted on the manual feed tray can be supported.

SHEET PROCESSING APPARATUS AND IMAGE FORMING SYSTEM

A square back processing unit performs a square back process on the sheet bundle and includes a pair of clamp portions. The sheet bundle subjected to the square back process by the square back processing unit is discharged to a sheet bundle discharge unit. A cover unit is provided downstream of the square back processing unit in the conveyance direction such that a child access probe according to a safety standard IEC 62368-1 does not reach the pair of clamp portions in a case where the child access probe is inserted from an outside of the sheet processing apparatus.

SHEET PROCESSING APPARATUS AND IMAGE FORMING SYSTEM

A conveyance unit conveys the sheet to an accumulation portion. A half-folding processing unit includes a folding roller pair and performs a half-folding process on the sheet bundle. A conveyance roller pair conveys the sheet bundle. A square back processing unit performs a square back process on the sheet bundle and includes a pair of clamp portions. A length of a conveyance path from the folding roller pair to the pair of clamp portions is larger than a half of a length of a long side of a sheet of a maximum size. In a state in which conveyance by the conveyance roller pair of a first sheet bundle to be subjected to the square back process is stopped, the conveyance unit conveys at least one sheet included in a second sheet bundle subsequent to the first sheet bundle toward the accumulation portion.
