摘要:
In a method of controlling copying-paper feed in an image forming apparatus having a recycling original feeder for feeding a sheet of an original mounted on a tray to an original reading portion, a paper supply unit for starting a paper supply operation of a sheet material, and a duplex unit with an intermediate tray, the steps of detecting a paper jam in the recycling original feeder, determining whether the paper supply unit has started its paper supply operation and then transmitting the sheet material to the sheet receiving member for temporarily storing the sheet material. After jam removal, the sheet material may then be routed to an image formation position.

A sheet post-processing apparatus includes a stapling unit including a detachable staple cartridge for holding staples attached in series, a staple driving device for sequentially driving the series of staples into sheets from a front-end portion, and a staple feeder for feeding the staples from the staple cartridge to the staple driving device. The sheet post-processing apparatus further includes a cartridge regulating device engageable with the staple cartridge for inhibiting detachment of the staple cartridge as a result of the engagement, a detector for detecting the presence or absence of the staples, and a releasing device for disengaging the regulating device when the absence of staples is detected by the detector to allow removal of the staple cartridge for replacement of the staples.

A sheet sorter with includes a bin unit including a plurality of bins for accommodating sorted sheets, sheet stacker for accommodating non-sorted sheets, sheet switcher for selectively guiding the sheets to the plural bins or to the sheet stacker, stapler for stapling the sheets accommodated in the bins, for each of the bins, and controller for controlling the sheet switcher to direct the sheet to the bins in response to instructions for sorting and stapling the sheets, to direct the sheet to the sheet stacker in response to instructions for accommodating the sheets without sorting, and to direct the sheets to the bin unit in response to instructions for stapling the sheets without sorting. The apparatus further includes a reciprocating aligning member which is driven to an alignment position during movement of the bins and is again driven to the alignment position to complete the aligning operation after completion of the movement of the bins.

A sheet sorter includes a plurality of bins for receiving sorted sheets, a sheet discharging unit for discharging the sheets to the bins, a shifting unit for raising and lowering the plurality of bins in order to selectively face a bin to the sheet discharging unit, an aligning reference wall for regulating one end portion of a sheet discharged to the bin, and an aligning member for bringing the one side portion of the sheet into contact with the aligning reference wall by pushing the other side portion of the sheet. The sheet sorter further includes a controller for controlling the aligning member so as to vary the timing of alignment start depending on whether operation is during normal sorting wherein the bin receiving the sheet at a position facing the sheet discharging unit rises after receiving the sheet or during reverse sorting wherein the bin receiving the sheet descends.
