A sorter with an automatic discharging unit has: a preliminary stacking section having a discharging mechanism for stacking therein paper sheets intended to be stacked in a given stacking section while paper sheets are being discharged from the given stacking section; a timer for counting a time interval corresponding to the ON operation of the preliminary stacking section with respect to the given stacking section and for producing a timeout signal when the predetermined time interval has elapsed; and a central processing unit for receiving the timeout signal from the timer so as to drive the discharging mechanism of the preliminary stacking section. |
