Summary:PURPOSE:To effectively utilize an idle sorter by allowing the use of a sorter other than a sorter in use before interruption and inhibiting the use of the sorter when all the sorters are in use in the case of performing sorting in the middle of interruption. CONSTITUTION:In the case of interruption, a used sorter number, the state of a bin which is in use, copying density, the number of sheets and variable power rate, etc., before interruption are stored in a RAM 6 by a CPU 4. By depressing a sorting mode selection key, the CPU 4 examines the RAM 6 and checks whether the sorter utilized before the interruption is the 1st sorter 7. When the 1st one is used, the CPU 4 examines the 2nd sorter 8. When the 2nd one is not used, the CPU 4 transmits a control signal expressing that the sorter 8 should be used to the sorters 7 and 8. When the sorter 7 is not used, it is to be used. Whether all the sorters are in use is successively examined. When all the sorters are in use, a sorting inhibition signal is transmitted to the sorter 7. When a mode before interruption is not the sorting mode, the sorting is freely performed without selecting the sorter. Thus, the idle sorter is effectively utilized.
