ABSTRACT:
A copying machine is provided with a sheet stapling device for both automatically fastening together in a corner area a bundle of sheets successively printed in the copying machine and fastening together a bundle of sheets manually inserted in an externally accessible opening formed in the side of the stapling device. Preferably, the opening is formed by an elongated slot which extends to the operating side of the copying machine and which coincides with the opening through which sheets printed in the copying machine are discharged from the stapling device. A bundle of sheets can be inserted in the opening so that any edge part is under the stapling means. Thus, the inserted bundle can be stapled at different places along any edge. The opening is provided with two detectors to determine when a bundle of sheets inserted manually is correctly positioned under the stapling device and to initiate the stapling action.
