Claims

[Claims for Utility Model Registration] 1. In an image forming apparatus equipped with a sorter in which each bin arranged in a plurality of stages is removable from a sorter main body, the number of sheets to be formed in a series is one of the plurality of bins. If the number of transfer sheets exceeds the number that can be stored in the sorter, a thinning bin display means is provided for determining which bin to be removed from the sorter body and thinning out among the plurality of bins, and displaying the number of the bin. An image forming apparatus equipped with a sorter. 2. The image forming apparatus equipped with a sorter according to claim 1, further comprising: a copy number display section for displaying a copy number on a portion visible from the outside of each bin;
An image forming apparatus equipped with a sorter, characterized in that a copy number corresponding to the number of copies of an image to be formed is displayed on the copy number display section of a bin into which transfer paper on which an image has been formed is discharged.
