Abstract
Provided are a post-processing apparatus, an image forming apparatus, and a post-processing method capable of avoiding the occurrence of a malfunction due to a failure to discharge a sheet bundle after a binding process. A plurality of sheets is loaded on a stack tray. A staple unit binds the plurality of sheets. A discharge roller discharges the sheet bundle bound by the staple unit from the stack tray. Each time a sheet is conveyed to the stack tray, an aligning unit moves between a first position in contact with the sheet loaded on the stack tray and a second position separating from the sheet. A detection processing unit detects a failure of discharging the sheet bundle by the discharging roller. A stop processing unit can stop the operation of the aligning unit when the discharge failure is detected by the detection processing unit.
