FIG. 6 is a diagram for explaining switching of the position. In this system, coordinate input is performed
Mode and console panel independently.
It is configured to be able to. When inputting coordinates by specifying the area of the manuscript,
Place the original face up on the pad, and then place
In this case, the manuscript is turned over and placed on the platen. And
On the platen, the left front is the resist position. this
Invert the original horizontally (LE) as shown in Fig. 22 (a).
In the case of F), place it as A in the figure and flip it as B,
In addition, as shown in Fig. 22 (b), the case of vertical installation (SEF)
It is natural to put it like C in the figure and flip it like D
is there. In other words, both the horizontal and vertical orientations are reversed in the long side direction of the original
Easy to do. So, the coordinates on the editor pad
The registration position of the manuscript in the designation is often horizontal
In the case of a user who does
Figure 22 for users who frequently use
Think of placing the original like C in (b).
In the case of the back left corner, and in the case of vertical placement, the right front corner
The resist at the designated coordinates to be the resist position of
The position is switched. I will explain this separately for editor pad and platen
And in the case of landscape orientation, face up the original as shown in Fig. 23 (a).
And place it horizontally on the coordinate input pad 405
After inputting, reverse the direction of the long side after input
As shown in (b), it matches the resist position O on the left side of the platen 55.
And start the copying operation, and register the position in the coordinate input.
Is the point P (right front corner) in the figure. Also, in case of vertical installation,
As shown in FIG. 23 (c), a vertical position is placed on the coordinate input pad 405.
Place and input coordinates, then flip in the long side direction after input
Then, as shown in Fig. 23 (d), the left front register of platen 55
Start the copying operation in accordance with the
The resist position is point Q (back left) in the figure. The registration position can be switched on the platen during copying.
When the original is placed on the
Or whether it is placed vertically or not.
Switch operation. When inputting from the console panel, place it horizontally.
Similarly, depending on whether it is placed vertically or vertically, the left back and right front
May be used as the resist position. Returning to FIG. 21, the description will be continued. When inputting from the coordinate input pad 405, a square
In this case, two points on the diagonal line are pressed with a pen or the like.
For other polygons, the editor panel
Press each vertex by operating the specification method button 419
Is used to input coordinates. Press the button 419 again
Operate to enter the input mode with two points on the diagonal of the rectangle
Returning, these area designation methods are switched with each other.
When the input is performed in this manner, the interface 129 (FIG. 6)
Is converted to a predetermined signal by the card CPU 129)
The road 121 is read. Input from the console panel uses the edit key 83.

Select the coordinate position and use the numeric keypad 80 to start from the registration position.
Enter the distance in the X and Y directions of
Make settings. Input data is read directly from the control circuit 121.
You. It should be noted that there may be a plurality of designated areas of the original (this embodiment
5 areas at maximum). On the other hand, the control circuit 121 sends the document size from the document sensor 178 to the document size.
Is input and the original placed on the platen is detected.
Detection data of whether it is placed horizontally or vertically
Is entered. The control circuit 121 operates when the horizontal position is detected.
The right front corner if it is located, and the left back corner if portrait orientation is detected.
Judge as the registration position in the coordinate input. Soshi
Then, as shown in Fig. 24 (a), the right front corner is the resist position.
If it is determined that the position is specified, the specified coordinates (X, Y) are
Transferred as data, and as shown in Fig. 24 (b),
If the left rear corner is determined to be the registration position,
(X ', Y') are converted and transferred as follows.
You. X = L−X ′, Y = S−Y ′ That is, in the case of copying, the document is inverted to the front left on the platen
However, the image formed by exposure is
Thus, by selecting the right front as the coordinate origin,
The coordinates are transferred as they are and the ISIL control circuit 122 controls them.
It can be used as a control signal. ISIL control circuit 122
Is based on the transmitted data, and consists of 128 LEDs.
Lighting control is performed to extract a predetermined area. The control circuit 121 has a switch for designating a resist position.
Even if you set the key 501 and specify the registration position
Good. In this case, switching by the original sensor should not be performed.
I can not do such a thing. This switch 501 is
Ram or diagnostic (diagnosis program)
Left / Right to NVM (Non-Volatile Memory)
Specify the front resist position and write it, and cut it with software
Change, or use a dip switch
The switch position, and check the switch status by turning on the power.
Judgment is made at the time of entry, and the registration position is switched. In the case of a customer program, for example, as shown in Figure 25
Program number 92,
Set the switching as `` 1: Left back, 0: Right front ''
What is necessary is just to choose from. Customer Pro
The gram is displayed with the message "Can be copied".
By pressing the program button on the console panel
Enter this mode and all lights on the console panel
Turn off the light, and set the program number
Please press ''.
Key input and select “1” or “0”
The registration position can be switched. In the case of diagnostic stick, for example, as shown in FIG.
Like CHAIN CODE50, FUNCTION CODE4

In the diagnostic mode (diagnosis mode), "1"
Switching the registration position by selecting "0"
It can be carried out. In this way, the control circuit 121 uses the document sensor or
Message based on resist position determined by switch
The data after the coordinate conversion is transferred to the display control circuit 127,
As shown in FIG. 27, the liquid crystal display 112 on the sole panel
The specified figure is displayed on the document. In this case,
Register position data is also transmitted to the message display control circuit 127.
