A copying machine equipped with an automatic document feeding device has a document stacker on which a plurality of documents can be stacked, a feeding section in which a sheet of document is separated from plural documents stacked on the document stacker and is fed to an image reading section, a conveyance section in which the document fed to the image reading section is conveyed and is stopped at a predetermined image reading position and then the document, after being read, is conveyed, and a sheet-ejecting section which is located at the downstream side in the conveyance direction from the image feeding section and ejects the document fed out of the conveyance section to a delivery tray. A document trailing edge detector is provided on the document stacker, a pass of the trailing edge of the last document on the document stacker is detected, and detection signals therefrom are sent to a main body of the copying machine to control a sheet feeding of the sheet feeding section of the copying machine.

A recorded sheet handling apparatus includes an intermediate holding section as a stacker for holding a set of recorded sheets externally fed one by one and stacked in a feeding order, a handling unit for selectively punching and/or stapling the set of recorded sheets held in the intermediate holding section at a holding position, a storage tray for storing the handled recorded sheets, first convey rollers for conveying the recorded sheets prior to handling to the intermediate holding section, and second convey rollers for conveying the handled recorded sheets to the storage tray.

Recorded sheet handling apparatus

A recorded sheet handling apparatus includes a holding unit for temporarily holding a set of recorded sheets externally fed one by one, a pair of side plates for moving the recorded sheets by a predetermined distance in a direction perpendicular to a recorded sheet convey direction prior to stapling when a size of the recorded sheets is a predetermined size, a punching machine and staplers for punching or stapling the set of recorded sheets while the sheets are held by the holding unit, and a conveying unit for conveying the punched or stapled copied sheets so as to exhaust the sheets.
