Abstract
An electrostatic plotter includes a housing having a side to be confronted by an operator. A recording head is disposed in the housing for recording a latent image on a recording paper supplied from a roll of recording paper disposed in the housing near the operator side. The latent image recorded on the recording paper is developed into a visible image by a developing unit in the housing. A cutting unit cuts off a sheet with the developed visible image thereon from the recording paper and discharges the cut sheet toward the operator side of the housing. A control unit controls the cutting unit and issues a size signal indicative of the size of each of sheets cut off by the cutting unit. A plurality of stackers are positioned on a discharge side of the cutting unit and operable to sort and store the cut sheets in response to the size signal.
