Abstract
A sheet processing apparatus includes a trimming section, a container, a detector and a control section. The trimming section performs trimming to trim a sheet or sheet set. The container collects a chip produced by the trimming in the trimming section. The detector detects a presence of the chip at a predetermined height. The control section makes the trimming section perform the trimming of a next sheet or sheet set when the detector detects the chip. Then, the control section determines that a top of piled chips in the container has reached the predetermined height when the detector still detects the presence of the chip after the trimming of the next sheet or sheet set.
