ABSTRACT:
A sorter having a finishing function which comprises a distributing unit for distributing printed sheets among a plurality of bins; a stapling unit for stapling the sheets; and a transporting unit for transporting the sheets from each bin to the stapling unit in a predetermined order. In the sorter, when a trouble occurs during the transportation of the sheets from one of the bins to the stapling unit, the transporting operation is discontinued, and when the trouble has been treated, the transporting operation is resumed with the bin next to the bin where the trouble occurred during the sheet transportation. Also, the sorter comprises sensors for detecting the existence of sheets in each bin, and when no sheets are detected in the bin where the trouble occurred during the sheet transportation, the transporting operation is resumed with the next bin, and when sheets are detected in the bin, the transporting operation is resumed with the bin.
