ABSTRACT:
A sheet distributing system including a sheet transfer unit, disposed within a housing, for transferring recorded sheets discharged from a sheet exit of an image recording unit to a sheet distribution stage, and a set of vertically arranged bin trays on one side of the housing and being moved toward the sheet distribution stage at the distributing timings of the recorded sheets, whereby the recorded sheets are distributed into the bin trays. The sheet distributing system further includes a post-processing unit located below or above the sheet transfer unit and disposed in a space, within the housing, which extends in the direction of the width of the sheet transfer unit, and a post-process control unit for causing the post-processing unit to successively apply a predetermined post-process to one side marginal portion of a stack of recorded sheets being contained in each of the bin trays at a post-processing stage different from the sheet distribution stage, when the sheet distributing operation has been completed. The post-processing unit may be a stapler or a puncher.
