ABSTRACT:
There is disclosed a collator which can access a desired one of a plurality of recording medium bins at any timing and which allows a maximum utilization of the plurality of bins. The collator includes a transporter for transferring recording medium to bins, a deflector for guiding the recording medium to the selected bin, an empty detector for detecting an empty state of the recording medium in the bins, and a controller for controlling the operation of the deflector such that when a predetermined amount of recording media have been stored in the bin during the recording medium storage operation, the recording media are transferred to other storage, and when said empty detector detects that the recording media have been removed from the bin having the predetermined amount of recording media stored therein, the transport of the recording media to the emptied bin is permitted.
