ABSTRACT:
A paper discharge apparatus for a recording system includes a plurality of vertically movable bins, arranged vertically stepwise, for receiving a recorded sheet discharged from a recording system main body, a lifting mechanism, a shifting unit, and a selection shift selecting unit, and a shift operation control unit. The lifting mechanism moves the bins upward/downward stepwise in synchronism with a sheet discharging operation in a sort mode. The shifting unit transversely shifts a discharging direction of a recorded sheet from a normal discharging direction. The selection shift selecting unit selects a shift mode or a non-shift mode as a discharge mode. The shift operation control unit operates the shifting unit such that when a number of sets of recorded sheets more than the number of bins are to be discharged in the sort mode, sets of recorded sheets discharged exceeding the number of bins are shifted and discharged in a reverse order from the lowermost bin or the uppermost bin, and recorded sheets for the next original are shifted and discharged from the last used bin of an immediately preceding original to the lowermost or uppermost bin and discharged without shifting to the first bin thereafter.
