PURPOSE:To easily carry out the control of a gate means by setting the operating area of a classifying gate with plural detectors and turning off a solenoid when there is no sheet of paper, etc. in said area, in a mail classifier, etc. CONSTITUTION:A control part 21 always monitors position codes stored in a memory part 25 and, when a position code for the presence of mail has disappeared from a transporting passage 5a and a transporting passage 5a1 to a stacking case, within the operating area AE which is specified by photodetectors 10a-10d, for a classifying gate 26a, it turns off a solenoid 27 which drives the classifying gate 26a. Similarly, a classifying gate 26b is also turned off when a position code which indicates the presence of mail, has disappeared from its operating area in the memory part 25. Thereby, the control of gate means can be easily carried out, abnormality in transporting paper, etc. can be prevented, and power consumption can be reduced.
