<p>PURPOSE:To continue the after-treatment of sheets even when a stapling treatment failed by discharging sheets to a sorting tray if a sheet detecting condition continues even when a certain time elapsed after operating a carry-out means of stapled sheets, in the captioned device for a copying machine, etc. CONSTITUTION:With the end of a stapling operation, a conveying roller 521 is rotated and a stopper 523 is rotated, allowing stapled sheets to fall onto a stacker tray 513 while operating a timer. And, it is judged abnormal if a sensor 525 fails to stop detecting by the end of the set time of the timer. When judged abnormal, the stapled sheets are discharged onto a sorting tray 515 as a sorting tray discharging mode. Due to such a structure, the after-treatment of sheets can be continued without suspending a recording operation even when a stapling treatment failed.</p> |
