Claim 2:
3. A sheet discharger comprising:
a stacker configured to accommodate sheets;
a sheet discharge conveyor configured to convey and discharge a sheet to the stacker:
a detector configured to detect whether a jam of a sheet has occurred in the stacker and a state of the jam; and
a processor configured to control the sheet discharge conveyor to continue sheet discharge upon detection by the detector of the jam in a state where sheet discharge of a jammed sheet is possible, wherein
the stacker includes stackers configured to accommodate sheets,
the sheet discharge conveyor is configured to convey a sheet conveyed via a printer and is capable of switching a sheet discharge destination between the stackers, and
the processor is configured to control the sheet discharge conveyor to switch a stacker as the sheet discharge destination for a subsequent sheet discharged after a sheet being discharged to the stacker as the sheet discharge destination at a time of occurrence of the jam in the state where sheet discharge of the jammed sheet is possible, depending on whether the subsequent sheet has been properly printed by the printer.
