Image processing apparatus and method for guiding sheet

摘要

An image processing apparatus includes a supplying section from which a sheet placed thereon is supplied into the image processing apparatus, a processing section configured to execute an image processing on an image formed on a sheet, a first storing section configured to store a sheet, a second storing section configured to store a sheet, a first conveying section configured to convey a sheet placed on the supplying section to the first storing section through the processing section, and a second conveying section configured to convey a sheet passing through the processing section to the second storing section and convey a sheet stored in the second storing section to a position at which the sheet from the supplying section enters the processing section.

1. An image processing apparatus, comprising:
a supplying section from which a sheet placed thereon is supplied into the image processing apparatus; a processing section configured to execute an image processing on an image formed on a sheet; a first storing section configured to store a sheet; a second storing section configured to store a sheet; a first conveying section configured to convey a sheet placed on the supplying section to the first storing section through the processing section; a second conveying section configured to convey a sheet passing through the processing section to the second storing section and convey a sheet stored in the second storing section to a position at which the sheet from the supplying section enters the processing section; a switching member configured to guide a sheet passing through the processing section to either the first storing section or the second storing section; and a control section configured to switch the switching member, so that a sheet passing through the processing section is guided to the second storing section if a number of sheets stored in the first storing section is more than a first number or if a number of sheets stored in the second storing section is less than a second number.
