Abstract
A copying apparatus comprising a copying machine; a paper handling device for storing and aligning the papers ejected from the copying machine, for stapling them and for ejecting the bound papers therefrom; and a controller for controlling the paper handling device to eject the papers therefrom when an automatic reset system, which resets the copying mode to the initial mode in the case that the copying machine has not operated for a specified time since the completion of a copying operation, is actuated. Also, in this copying apparatus, the papers left in the paper handling device are ejected therefrom when a specified key is pressed so as to actuate an all reset system to reset the copying mode to the initial mode or when a power switch is operated. Further, the papers left in the paper handling device can be ejected with stapled in response to an operation of the automatic reset system, an operation of the all reset system or operating the power switch.
