Abstract
A discharge system for discharging copy sheets out of a copying machine body comprises a transport unit and a discharge unit. The transport unit transports copy sheets in a transverse direction of the machine. The interiorly-incorporated discharge unit acquires a sheet transported from the transport unit and actively transports the acquired sheet along a fore-and-aft direction of the apparatus toward the user-directed side of the copying machine in order to discharge it exteriorly. The overall occupied space of the copy machine is thus reduced; additionally, accuracy of copy sheet discharge is ensured.
