When the sheet mode is selected for the copying machine, a control unit selects the collator mode for the sorter, and when the book mode is selected for the copying operation, the control unit selects the sorter mode for the sorter. The copying machine monitors energization status of the sorter and if the sorter is deenergized, copy papers ejected from the copying machine are prevented from being fed to the sorter.
