ABSTRACT:
An image forming apparatus includes an input device for inputting the number of copies for every distributing place; a memory for storing the number of copies inputted by the input device; a display for displaying the number of copies; an original automatic feeder for returning an exposed sheet of an original to an uppermost position of this original; a feeder for feeding a sheet to be transferred; a device for reversing the transferred sheet; a collective sorter for collecting and sorting the transferred sheet; a detector for detecting discharge of the transferred sheet; and a discharging controller having first, second and third discharging devices. The first discharging device discharges the transferred sheet to each of bins disposed in the collective sorter in accordance with the number of copies of the original inputted by the input device. The second discharging device arranges and discharges the transferred sheet in a page order of the original. The third discharging device discharges an interleaving sheet of paper every time the transferred sheet is discharged by one copy.
