ABSTRACT:
A sorter for sorting a printed sheet discharged from an image forming machine has a controller for determining the appropriate air-suction force of a suction unit of a conveyer based on information sent from a control panel. A plurality of bins are arranged vertically and the conveyer is arranged vertically alongside the bins so that the printed sheet is conveyed downward. The conveyor has a belt and the suction unit for drawing the printed sheet to the belt and an indexer has a guide surface in its upper portion, which moves vertically along a sheet travel route of the conveyer, for peeling the printed sheet off the conveyer with the guide surface and sending the printed sheet into one of the bins. The controller is connected to the conveyer and the indexer and drives the conveyer and the indexer according to the information from the control panel. An operating panel also is connected to the controller and receives printing sheet information regarding the sheet to be printed and feeds this information to the controller.
