Image forming apparatus with trays that are movable to a recording sheet discharge position and a controller for controlling movement of the trays

摘要

A machine ( 1 ) has an image former ( 200 ) for forming an image on a recording sheet. Movable trays are provided for receiving the recording sheets. A job manager ( 104 ) stores information concerning the tray for receiving the recording sheet, and a moving mechanism ( 605 ) moves the tray to a recording sheet discharge position according to information stored the job manager ( 104 ). An input device ( 11 ) allows an operator to input a copy value corresponding to the number of copies of the recording sheets to be discharged in an image forming job, and a tray moving controller ( 106 ) for controlling the moving mechanism ( 605 ) to move the tray if the copy value inputted from the input device ( 11 ) is higher than a predetermined copy value and to keep the tray from moving if the copy value is equal to or lower than the predetermined copy value.
