<p>PURPOSE:To enable to perform multifunction, such as double-sided duplication, by a method wherein, in a duplicator, with sheet discharging means orderly driven in a reversing direction, sheets are fed again from the direction of each bin tray and are fed to a duplicator. CONSTITUTION:In a sheet sorting part 57 connected to a duplicator 50, sheets are discharged to each of bin trays 611-61n by means of discharging means 1351-135n, and the sheets are sorted and accumulated according to a given pattern. Meanwhile, in case double-sided duplication takes place, the sheets, the one surfaces of which are duplicated by the duplicator 50, are fed in the direction of each bin tray by means of the sheet discharging means 1351-135n, and by means of signals from sheet detecting means 1321-132n, the sheets are brought to a stop in a condition to hold the end of the sheet. Thereafter, through driving of the sheet discharging means orderly in a reversing direction, the sheets are fed to the duplicator 50. This enables sharp reduction of the size of the device.</p> |
