ABSTRACT:
A sorter for sorting a printed sheet discharged from an image forming machine includes a plurality of bins arranged in a vertical direction; a conveyer provided vertically along the plurality of bins to convey the printed sheet vertically downward; an indexer having a guide surface in its upper portion, being vertically movable along a sheet travel route of the conveyer, for peeling the printed sheet off the conveyer with the guide surface and sending the printed sheet in either one of the plurality of bins; a controller connecting for driving the conveyer and the indexer; and an operating panel-connecting to the controller. The operating panel receives a printing sheet information of the sheet to be printed and feeds the information to the controller, and the controller determines a vertical distance between a bottom surface of an upstream-side end portion of the bin and a downstream-side end portion of the guide surface of the printed sheet guide means in response to the information from the operating panel.
