PURPOSE:To change a bin in storage position every time a specific number of copies are taken by providing the controller of the copying machine with a large-quantity copy mode setting means, cycle discrimination means, and cycle stack mode setting means. CONSTITUTION:For example, when a numeral ''91'' is inputted on a ten-key keyboard 46, a CPU41 registers numeric data on it in a numeric data register 45 and also registered in a set quantity register 47, so that the numeral ''91'' is displayed on a set quantity display device 12. When a stop button 17 is pressed, the CPU41 discriminates whether a main motor is in rotating motion or not. When a large-quantity copy mode is set, the control circuit for it sets the mode of a sorter by referring to an operation control signal sent from the console panel 36 of the sorter. Thus, while the large-quantity copy mode is set, one of two kinds of modes, i.e. cycle stack mode and non-stack mode is set with the sorter 32 connected to the copying machine 31. |
