An image processing apparatus, comprising:
- a supplying section from which a sheet placed thereon is supplied into the image processing apparatus;
- a processing section configured to execute an image processing on an image formed on a sheet;
- a first storing section configured to store a sheet;
- a second storing section configured to store a sheet;
- a first conveying section configured to convey a sheet placed on the supplying section to the first storing section through the processing section;
- and
- a second conveying section configured to convey a sheet passing through the processing section to the second storing section and convey a sheet stored in the second storing section to a position at which the sheet from the supplying section enters the processing section.
A method for guiding a sheet in an image processing apparatus including a supplying section from which a sheet placed thereon is supplied into the image processing apparatus, a processing section configured to execute an image processing on an image formed on a sheet, and first and second storing sections each configured to store sheets, the method comprising:
- controlling a switching member to be in one of first and second positions;
- guiding a sheet passing through the processing section to the first storing section, if the switching member is in the first position;
- and
- guiding the sheet passing through the processing section to the second storing section and conveying the sheet stored in the second storing section to a position at which the sheet from the supplying section enters the processing section, if the switching member is in the second position.
