PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To carry out rotation sort output processing without any delay in a digital copier that does not have any optional memories such as a hard disk. SOLUTION: The digital copier has a compression data region for compressing input image data for storing, and a temporary region for input. In the digital copier, when it is found that two sides cannot be secured by the memory capacity by judging the memory capacity of the temporary region for input when input is started in an electronic sort rotation mode, the priority of a stage for supplying paper is ignored for the first copy for selecting the stage for supplying paper in the same direction as an original, thus carrying out the processing without any delay. |
