PURPOSE:To improve sorting processing efficiency at every block after copying operation by inhibiting one or plural bins from being used among blocks on a specific copying machine. CONSTITUTION:For example, thee are plural blocks 20 containing plural originals in sorting mode use and after a 1st block 1 is copied, and originals in a next block 2 are copied. In this case, when the sorter 10 has empty bins as many as necessary copies, sorting operation is carried out successively to the used bin of last copies continuously and this operation is continued until necessary empty bins as many as necessary copies of the next original block 2 are obtained. Then, one or several sorter bins 10 are inhibited from being used among blocks 1-3. Consequently, continuous copying operation is carried out without taking each copy out of the sorter 10, and the sorting operation after the end of the copying operation is easily performed. |
