PURPOSE:To prevent papers cut for each page from being scattered or lost, by providing a paper-feeding guide for feeding a paper cut by a cutter to a stacker part on the paper-discharging side with the printed side of the paper directed downward, and a temporarily binding mechanism. CONSTITUTION:A printed paper 11 cut by a cutter 1 is guided by a paper- feeding guide 2 to be stacked on a stacker 3 with a temporarily binding mechanism 6, with the printed side of the paper directed downward. When a one-job amount of printed papers cut for each page are stacked in the order of output, the stacker 3 stops a printing operation, and lowers the temporarily binding mechanism 6 to perform temporary binding of the printed papers. When the temporary binding is completed, the mechanism 6 is returned upward, and the temporarily bound papers 12 are discharged into a paper-containing rack 4. Accordingly, the printouts can be easily assorted, and the papers cut for each page can be prevented from being scattered or lost. |
