<p>PURPOSE:To avoid deterioration of after process quality by arranging an after process unit at a position opposed to one lateral end part of a recording sheet in a bin tray after sorting process and applying a specified after process to the one lateral end part of the recording sheet. CONSTITUTION:A recording sheet 4 discharged from an image recording device 2 is sequentially transferred to a sheet distribution stage S1 passing through a sheet transfer device 5, and then is stored one after another in each bin tray after distribution. If the sorting process of the recording sheet 4 is completed, an after process control device 8 sets a target bin tray 6 in an after process stage S2 sequentially, then sets an after process unit 7 at a specified target after process position M1 or M2 after movement of the unit 7. After that, the after process control device 8 applies after process to target after process points along the one lateral end part of the recording sheet 4 stored in the target bin tray 6 sequentially using the after process unit 7. Subsequently, it is possible to avoid deterioration of the after process quality after use of the after process unit 7.</p> |
