An image forming apparatus includes an image forming unit for forming images onto sheets in either one of a first mode for sequentially forming the images onto the sheets from a last page and a second mode for sequentially forming the images onto the sheets from a front page. The apparatus also includes a rotation processing unit for rotating the image in the direction of 180.degree. for the direction of the image in the first mode before the image forming unit forms the images in the second mode. The apparatus further includes a tray for stacking the sheets, a reversing path for reversing the sheet in the second mode, a conveying path for conveying the sheets formed with the images by the image forming unit to the tray directly or through the reversing path, and a stapler for performing a stapling on an upstream side in the conveying direction in the sheet and on a left side or a right side in the conveying direction. The stapler performs the stapling on the left side in the conveying direction in the first mode and on the right side in the conveying direction in the second mode.

An original reading apparatus includes an original feeding unit for feeding the front and back sides of two-side originals in succession to a reading position, a reader unit for reading the original in the reading position, a memory unit for storing the image data of the original read by the reader unit, a read-out unit adapted to read the image data from the memory unit in the continuous order of pages, in case of reading a bundle of originals wherein the pages are so arranged that a side of the original bears the images of N-th and first pages and the other side of the original bears the images of (N-1)-th and second pages, and an output unit for successively outputting or transmitting the image data read by the read-out unit.

An image forming apparatus performs the printing in any of a copy mode, a facsimile mode and a print mode, having a sorter for sorting ejected sheets, wherein the operation is controlled suitably for each mode when the number of sheets stored in a bin of said sorter is over the upper limit. An image forming method using a plurality of bins, and a counter for counting the number of sheets stored in each bin, includes interrupting the print if the number of sheets stored in the bin is over the upper limit in the copy mode, and continuing the print and switching the bin, in the printer and facsimile mode, if the number of sheets is over the upper limit.

An image forming apparatus includes an image forming unit for forming images on sheets in the copy mode, the facsimile mode, and the printer mode a plurality of storage units for storing the sheets on which images are formed by the image forming unit, a setting unit for setting storage units which are to store sheets on which images are formed in the respective modes, a detection unit for detecting empty states of the storage units, and a control unit for storing sheets on which images are formed in the facsimile or printer mode in the storage units that are set by the setting unit, and storing sheets on which images are formed in the copy mode in storage units whose empty states are detected by the detection unit independently of the setting state of the setting unit.

A copying apparatus includes an original feed unit for feeding originals stacked on the stacking position to an exposure position one by one, an exposure unit for exposing an image on the original fed to the exposure position, and an image forming unit for forming the image exposed by the exposure unit onto a sheet, the image forming unit being able to operate in a first mode for forming an image on a single original on a single sheet, and a second mode for forming images on a plurality of originals on a single sheet. The original feed unit includes a first feed unit for feeding the originals stacked at the stacking position in turn from the last page, and a second feed unit for feeding the originals stacked at the stacking position in turn from the first page. When the image forming unit operates in the first mode, the first feed unit feeds the originals. When the image forming unit operates in the second mode, the second feed unit feeds the originals.

A sheet stapling apparatus includes a storage unit for storing sheets ejected out from an image forming apparatus, and a stapling unit for stapling to the sheets stored in the storage unit. The sheet stapling apparatus can execute a first bending process for bending the feet of a staple which were pierced through the sheets to the inside and a second bending process for bending the feet of the staple which were pierced through the sheets to the outside. In the facsimile mode or the printer mode, the second bending process is executed.

An image forming apparatus includes a sorter with a plurality of accommodating units for sorting sheets on which images have been formed. The sorter is detachably mountable to the image forming unit, and has a first control unit for allowing image formation of a second group by interrupting image formation of a first group upon reception of an interrupt instruction to perform image formation of images of the second group while image formation of images of the first group is suspended, and for resuming image formation of the first group after the image formation of the second group has been completed, and a second control unit for changing units to accommodate sheets in the sorter so as to accommodate sheets on which images of the first group have been formed and sheets on which images of the second group have been formed in different accommodating units in accordance with the instruction of the interrupt, a detector for detecting the mounting or detaching of the sorter, and a prohibition unit for prohibiting interrupt of image formation of the second group during image formation of the first group when the detector detects the detaching of the sorter.

A sheet post-processing apparatus includes a tray for accommodating discharged sheets; binding device for binding the sheets discharged to the tray; a stacker, juxtaposed with the tray, for accommodating a set of sheets on the tray; and a controller for discriminating whether binding mode or non-binding mode is selected, and for changing stacking way of the set of sheets on the stacker.

An image forming apparatus and method includes a sheet accommodating device, a feeder, an image former, a sheet conveying path, and a controller. The sheet accommodating device accommodates a stack of sheets. The sheet accommodating device is movable in a direction crossing with the feeding direction for the sheets. The feeder feeds one-by-one the sheets from the sheet accommodating device. The image former forms an image on a sheet sent from the sheet accommodating device by the feeder. The sheet conveying path has a sufficient length to retain the sheet from the sheet accommodating device between the feeder and the image former so that a trailing edge of the sheet is downstream of the feeder. The controller pre-feeds the sheet to the sheet conveying path from the sheet accommodating device prior to the generation of a sheet feeding signal.

There is provided a data processing apparatus comprising an input means for inputting image data, a memory means for storing the data input by the input means, an output means for outputting the data stored in the memory means, by a predetermined operation, a judgment means for judging whether or not there is the data not yet output by the output means for a predetermined time in the memory means and a transfer means for transferring, in a case where the judgment means judged that there is the data not yet output for the predetermined time, the data stored in the memory means to an another device. Therefore, in a case where a user does not instruct to output the data for a long time and thus it must be kept storing the image data in the memory means, it can be prevented a conventional problem that another processes can not be performed for lack of a remaining free capacity in the memory means.
