<p>PURPOSE:To prevent an arranging device from suffering from jamming by releasing the operation of the arranging device when the discharge of the record sheet of different size from that of the initial one into a bin is detected by a size information detecting means. CONSTITUTION:When the record sheets discharged from a copying machine are stored in the respective 55 of a sorter 20 one after another, an axis fixing unit 72 and an arranging axis driving unit 95 are moved by a jogger moving motor 82 until a size detecting sensor 93 detects one of given size detecting pieces 92, and an arranging plate 70 arranges record sheets by the rotation of an arranging axis 71. When record sheets are discharged into the respective bins 55, the sizes of the record sheets are detected by a size information detecting means, and when the record sheets of different sizes those of the already discharged record sheets exist, the arranging device stops its operation. It is thus possible to prevent the generation of jamming.</p> |
