To facilitate the access by a user to binding parts of a sheet processing device with multiple binding parts.SOLUTION: The sheet processing device includes: a sheet loading part with multiple sheets loaded thereon; needle binding means that binds multiple sheets using needles; and non-needle binding means that binds multiple sheets without using the needles. Frame members are provided on at least both sides in a first direction orthogonal to a sheet advancing direction of the sheet loading part, between an exterior cover of the sheet processing device and the sheet loading part. The frame member has an opening on the non-needle binding means side, and the non-needle binding means is movable between the frame member and the exterior cover through the opening. If it is necessary to access the non-needle binding means, opening a portion on the non-needle binding means of the exterior cover enables direct access to the non-needle binding means.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 24 【課題】複数の綴じ部を備えるシート処理装置において、利用者による綴じ部へのアクセスを容易化すること。【解決手段】複数のシートを積載するシート積載部と、針を用いて複数のシートを綴じる針有り綴じ手段と、針を用いないで複数のシートを綴じる針無し綴じ手段と、を備えたシート処理装置であって、シート処理装置の外装カバーとシート積載部との間であって、シート積載部のシート進入方向と直交する第１の方向の少なくとも両側にフレーム部材が設けられ、フレーム部材は、針無し綴じ手段側に開口部を有しており、針無し綴じ手段は、開口部を介してフレーム部材と外装カバーとの間に移動可能であり、針無し綴じ手段にアクセスする必要が生じた場合、外装カバーの針無し綴じ手段側の部分を開けることにより、針無し綴じ手段に直接アクセスできるように構成されたシート処理装置。【選択図】図２４
