ABSTRACT:
A sheet transporting apparatus comprising an outlet for sheets, a first path through which sheets ejected from a copying machine are transported in a first direction, to the outlet and in a second direction to be reversed from the outlet, a diverter for diverting the travel of sheets, which is disposed in the vicinity of the outlet and movable between a first position where sheets traveling in the first direction are guided to a handling apparatus attached at the outlet and a second position where sheets are guided to a space between respective outside frames of the transporting apparatus and the handling apparatus, a second path for receiving sheets traveling in the second direction along the first path and transporting the sheets, a storing unit wherein sheets transported through the second path are stored and a refeeding section for feeding sheets stored in the storing unit to the copying machine. In a first mode, the diverter is set to the first position so that sheets ejected from the copying machine are transported to the handling apparatus through the first path. In a second mode, the diverter is set to the second position so that sheets ejected from the copying machine are transported in the first direction, then reversed in the second direction, and finally transported to the sheet storing unit through the second path.
