Abstract
A sheet discharging apparatus includes a discharging portion, a stacking portion, a moving member configured to move to a first position, a second position, and a third position, a detection portion, and a control portion. In a case where the detection portion detects that the moving member has reached the second position, the control portion controls the discharging portion in a first mode or a second mode. In the second mode, the control portion restricts the discharge of a sheet after a predetermined number of sheets has been discharged to the stacking portion. The control portion is configured to determine the predetermined number of sheets, depending on a type of the sheet discharged by the discharging portion, a length of the sheet in a sheet conveyance direction, and temperature and/or humidity.
