A sheet post-process apparatus includes a waiting tray and a processing tray. The waiting tray is provided in the middle of a conveying path so that a downstream side end in a conveying direction of sheets is oriented upwardly. In the case where a post-process is required, sheets are made standby. The processing tray has a function which causes the sheets made standby on the waiting sheet to be dropped by self-weight. With this function, the processing tray receives the sheets moved to be dropped and the sheets conveyed from a conveying path without intervening the waiting tray, before carrying out the post-process. Bundles of sheets formed on the processing tray are stacked onto a storage tray by means of a sheet-conveying mechanism after they have been post-processed.
