Abstract

In accordance with an embodiment, an image processing system comprises a discharge section, a first movable tray, a second movable tray, and a controller. The discharge section discharges a processed sheet. The first movable tray and the second movable tray vertically move to load the sheet discharged from the discharge section. The controller drives either one or both of the first movable tray and the second movable tray to carry out control to discharge a sheet to which an image forming processing is executed to one of the first movable tray and the second movable tray and carries out control to discharge a sheet to which a decoloring processing is executed to the other movable tray according to a type of a job received by a reception section.

Claims20

Dependent claims

An image processing system, comprising:

a discharge section configured to discharge a sheet to which an image forming processing or a decoloring processing is executed;
a first tray configured to load the sheet discharged from the discharge section;
a second movable tray, arranged below the first tray, configured to move vertically to load the sheet discharged from the discharge section;
a heating device that generates heat to facilitate a fixing process and decoloring processing;
and
a controller configured to drive either one or both of the first tray and the second movable tray to direct discharge of a sheet to which the image forming processing is executed to one of the first tray and the second movable tray and to direct discharge of a sheet to which decoloring processing is executed to the other movable tray according to a type of a job received by a reception section, and wherein the controller is also configured to control the heating device to generate different temperatures for the fixing process and the decoloring processing.
