ABSTRACT:
This invention relates to a sheet handling unit. The sheet handing device has an intermediate tray which receives a copy sheet discharged through an outlet port of a transport guide member at a predetermined receiving position, and a hand unit which holds a portion of the sheet set on the intermediate tray to transfer the sheet set from the intermediate tray onto a sheet stacker. The intermediate tray carrying the sheet set thereon and the hand unit move toward a sheet releasing position in a state that the hand unit holds the portion of the sheet set to transfer the sheet set to the sheet releasing position. The hand unit pauses at the sheet releasing position while holding the portion of the sheet set. Meanwhile, the intermediate tray moves to a retract position away from the sheet stacker, and the hand unit releases the holding of the sheet set at the sheet releasing position. Thereby, the sheet set is transferred onto the sheet stacker from the intermediate tray.
