ABSTRACT:
A waiting tray comprises a waiting tray roller which ejects a transported sheet to a storage tray, a waiting tray roller drive source which drives the waiting tray roller so as to come into contact with the sheet or so as to be spaced from the sheet, and a waiting tray roller drive motor which rotates the waiting tray roller in a direction in which the sheet is to be ejected. In the case where the sheet is ejected from the waiting tray directly to the storage tray without intervening a processing tray, the waiting tray roller is driven by the waiting tray roller drive source and the waiting tray roller drive motor. In this manner, the sheet held on the waiting tray is directly held on a storage tray without being held on a processing tray.
