A sheet sorter includes first sheet discharging device for discharging sheet materials during non-sorting mode operation; second sheet discharging device for discharging sheet materials during sorting mode operation; a bin for the non-sorting mode operation; a plurality of bins for the sorting mode operation, a first bin of which is opposed to the second discharging device when the non-sorting bin is opposed to the first discharging device, wherein during the sorting mode operation, the plural bins are sequentially opposed to the second discharging device; and supporting device for supporting the non-sorting bin and the sorting bin with a predetermined positional relation to move them together.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION Accordingly, it is a principal object of the present invention to provide a sheet sorter wherein the first copy can be taken quickly.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, when the non-sort bin or tray is opposed to the non-sort discharge outlet (conveying means) of an image forming apparatus, the first bin for the sorting mode operation is opposed to the sort discharge outlet (conveying means) of the image forming apparatus.
In this embodiment, the bins are not required to move in response to the switching between the non-sort mode operation and the sort mode operation, and therefore, the time required for the first copy produced from the image forming apparatus to be accommodated on the bin of the sorter (for example, the time required for the first copy to be completed) can be reduced, and therefore, the first copy may be obtained quickly.
These and other objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become more apparent upon a consideration of the following description of the preferred embodiments of the present invention taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
