<p>PURPOSE:To avoid nonconformity based on a stapling operation exceeding the limit number of stapling sheets by controlling so as to suspend a copying operation when the number of originals is judged to be conformed to the limit number of stapling sheets and to carry out a stapling operation when sheets are discharged after the suspension. CONSTITUTION:The number of originals which are fed by an automatic original feeding means is counted by a counting means. This counted number of originals is compared with the previously set limit number of sheets by a comparing means. As a result, when it is judged that the value corresponding to the number of copying paper discharged into each bin 55 of a sorter is conformed to the limit number of stapling sheets of a stapling means 61, a copying operation is executed. Accordingly, nonconformity of mis-stapling caused by the stapling operation of the sheets of copying paper exceeding the limit number of stapling sheets will not take place.</p> |
