<p><P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To vary a shifting amount of overlapped sheets upon sort discharge from that upon non-sort discharge in a device always discharging double sheets. <P>SOLUTION: During sort discharge having a tip abutting member, the shift amount of the sheet is set at substantially 0 mm to prevent a hit trace or a scar in butting the sheet on the tip abutting member. During non-sort discharge (having no tip abutting member), the lower one of the overlapped sheets is shifted upstream in the conveying direction to prevent a returning failure of the discharged lower sheet. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2003,JPO</p> |
