PURPOSE:To prevent an output list of contiguous processings from being divided into sections by providing control means adapted to discharge continuous form onto a table without cutting the continuous form when a receiving table is fully loaded and continue the foling operation on the table. CONSTITUTION:Continuous form 3 is accumulated on a receiving table 12, and the receiving table 12 is lowered. When the receiving table 12 is fully loaded with continuous form 3, it is detected by a micro-switch 22. Whereupon, a paper handling apparatus 4 reports the full load condition to a host processor, and the host processor is adapted to issue a command for discharging form 3 on judging that the print output of the current job is not completed. The handling apparatus 4 is adapted to lower a table 14 up to the lower limit position, discharge the form and again lift up the receiving table 14. Thus, the continuous form is discharged from the receiving table 12 to the table 14 without cutting the form 3. Subsequently, with the discharge mechanism 12 kept open, the table 14 is lifted up to a position for detecting the lowering of the receiving table to conduct folding operation. On completion of contiguous processings, the form is cut at a perforation according to a cut command, and the table 14 is lowered to the lower limit position to discharge the form 3 from the table 14. |
