<p>PURPOSE:To make it possible to obtain a necessary number of copies each having necessary number of sheets at only one time of input of an image forming signal by setting a number of sheets to be stored in each bin and a number of bins to be used in accordance with one original so that sheets are distributed and stored in the set number for each bin to be used, respectively. CONSTITUTION:In such a condition that a multiple grouping mode is selected by a sorter mode selection key 151 on a sorter panel 150 and indicating LEDs 155 are turned on, a number of bins to be used for sorting sheets, that is, a number M of copies is inputted through a ten keyboard 124 on a copying machine panel 120. Further, a number of sheets in each copy, to be stored in each bin, that is, a number B of stored sheets, is inputted through the ten keyboard 124 in such a condition that a multiplying key 133 is turned on, and then an equal key 17 is manipulated so as to reset the mode before repeating the above-mentioned steps so that the number B of stored sheets is set to Z1, Z2... for the bins to be used. Further, when a print key 121 is depressed, the number M of copies each having the number B of sheets are automatically sorted. Thus, it is possible to aim at enhancing the facility of use.</p> |
