Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a recording apparatus that records an image on a long sheet such as a film and develops the image.

In a recording apparatus such as a processor camera, it is necessary to carry out processing after development while maintaining the film feed speed substantially constant to prevent processing unevenness from occurring on the film. On the other hand, recording work is usually carried out intermittently, sometimes with quite long interruptions, so the film is sent intermittently from the recording section to the processing section after development. The sending of the data will be interrupted for a long time.

In this type of recording apparatus, there are two methods: one is to carry out the recording operation by continuously transporting the film from the recording section to the developing section, and the other is to carry out the recording operation without sending the film to the developing section. The former method has the problem of wasting expensive film because it is necessary to send the film from the recording section to the developing section if the recording operation is interrupted for a long time, but the latter method requires that the recording operation be interrupted for a long time. You won't waste film either.

By the way, in the latter method, when developing recorded film, it is necessary to operate the operation switch to command the start of development, but during the recording process,
When the operation switch is operated, the film in the storage chamber is sent to the developing section and the film is cut, so the film is cut in the middle of the recording area, and as a result, one group of mutually related information is transferred to two films. If one group of information on the film is to be used in a retrieval device, reader, etc., the films must be connected, which makes the work cumbersome.

If the film is not to be cut, it is sufficient to simply feed the film in the recording section, but this has the disadvantage that the film is wasted.

The present invention provides a recording device that eliminates the drawbacks of the conventional devices as described above.

The present invention will be explained below using specific examples shown in the drawings.

FIG. 1 shows a processor camera to which the present invention is applied. Reference numeral 1 denotes a camera section for photographing an image of an original onto a film, and 2 a processor section for performing photographic processing such as development on the photographed film. An automatic document feeder 3 is arranged above the camera section 1.
Documents 5 such as checks, bills, stock certificates, and slips are stacked and placed in a container 6. 7 is a rotatable lever that sends the original 5 out of the container; 8 is a lever 7;
9 is the lever 7
is a spring connected to the end of the When the solenoid 8 of the automatic document feeder is turned on, the lever 7 is moved by the spring 9.
The tip of the document swings against the force of the container 6 and connects with the edge of the document at the bottom in the container 6, and one document is supplied to the photographing section 15. Reference numeral 10 denotes a document detector for detecting the presence or absence of a document in the container 6, which is composed of a micro switch.
When there is a document in the container, it turns on and outputs a "1" signal.

The original 5 sent out of the container 6 is moved by a pair of feed rollers 16 provided in a photographing section (recording section) 15 to a photographing position located between two glass flat plates 17 and 18 separated from each other. It is fed at a constant speed and then discharged onto a tray 20 by a pair of discharge rollers 19 .

The upper roller of the pair of feed rollers 16 is supported so as to be able to move up and down, and when a document is sent between the pair of feed rollers 16, the upper roller moves upward depending on the thickness of the document. The displacement of the roller is detected by the document feed detector 25. This detector 25 consists of a micro switch, which turns on when the original is fed between a pair of feed rollers 16, outputs a "1" signal, and remains on until the trailing edge of the original passes the photographing position. do.

21 is a slit placed near the shooting position;
22 is a lamp that illuminates the original.

The rollers 16 and 19 are drive sources for the photographing section (not shown).
The document feed solenoid 9 is connected to and driven for a certain period of time when it is turned on, and the documents are fed at the same speed.

30 is a projection lens, 31 is a shutter, and 32 is a slit. When the original 5 passes through the photographing position, it is reduced and projected by the projection lens 30 onto the microfilm F placed at the exposure position 29 .

The microfilm F is wound around a supply reel 33, and is fed at a constant speed by a capstan roller 35, a pinch roller 36, and a pair of feed rollers 37 located at the exposure position 29. The capstan roller 35 and the feed roller 37 are connected to a drive source (not shown) of the photographing section, and are driven when the document feed detector 25 is turned on, at a speed equal to the moving speed of the document image on the surface of the capstan roller 35. feed the film. Therefore, during photographing, the film in the photographing section is fed in synchronization with the feeding of the document.

38 is a roller that comes into contact with the outer surface of the film wound on the supply reel 33, and 39 is a swingable arm that supports the roller 38. These are used to detect the remaining amount of film wound on the supply reel. ,

45 is a cutter for cutting the film, and is driven by a solenoid (not shown). Reference numeral 50 denotes a storage chamber in which the film sent from the photographing section is freely stored in a loop, and a pair of supply rollers 5 are installed near the entrance of the storage chamber.
1. A pair of discharge rollers 52 are each arranged near the exit. The film exposed in the photographing section is fed to a storage chamber by a supply roller 51, and the film stored in the storage chamber is fed to a processor section by a discharge roller 52. Supply roller 51
A film loop F' is formed in the storage chamber due to the difference in the film feeding speed of the discharge roller 52 and the film feeding speed of the discharge roller 52.

The supply roller 51 is connected to the same driving source as the capstan roller 35 and the feed roller 37, and feeds the film at the same speed as these rollers 35 and 37. As shown in FIG. 3, the pair of supply rollers 51 have a diameter larger at the ends than at the center, and the film F is held between the large diameter portions of the supply rollers 51. The pair of discharge rollers 52 also have the same shape as the supply roller 51.

A film guide member 53 is disposed between the supply roller 51 and the discharge roller 52, and the film guide member 53 has projecting portions 53a disposed near the small diameter portions of the rollers 51 and 52 at both ends thereof and engages with the side edges of the film. It has a movement regulating vertical wall 53b that fits together.

The film guide member 53 guides the leading end of the film from the entrance to the exit of the storage chamber when the leading end of the film is fed into the entrance of the storage chamber, and also prevents the film from shifting laterally between the rollers 51 and 52. This works to ensure that a loop of film is formed.

In FIG. 3, 55 is a first pulse generator;
It operates in conjunction with the rotation of the supply roller 51, and generates a pulse every time the roller 51 rotates by a certain angle.
This first pulse generator 55 is composed of a cam disk 56 fixed to the shaft of the supply roller 51, and a micro switch 57 that is turned on and off by projections provided at regular intervals on the circumferential surface of the cam disk 56. There is. A second pulse generator is connected to the discharge roller 52 as well as the supply roller 51, and operates in conjunction with the rotation of the discharge roller 52, generating a pulse every time the roller 52 rotates by a certain angle. Note that the pulse generator is not limited to the above embodiment, and various known pulse generators can be used. The first and second pulse generators are configured to generate one pulse when the rollers 51 and 52 each feed the film the same predetermined length.

FIG. 4 shows the drive mechanism of the discharge roller 52. The shaft 52a of the discharge roller 52 is drivingly coupled to a first drive shaft 61 via a first electromagnetic clutch 60, and the first drive shaft 61 is connected to the capstan roller 35,
It is connected to a drive source (motor) of the photographing section that drives the feed roller 37 and supply roller 51. Also,
A gear 63 is fixed to the shaft 52a.
meshes with gear 64. The shaft of the gear 64 is drivingly coupled to a second drive shaft 66 via a second electromagnetic clutch 63, and the second drive shaft 66 is coupled to a drive source (motor) of the processor unit 2. When the first electromagnetic clutch 60 is turned on, the shaft 52a and the first drive shaft 61 are drivingly coupled, and the ejection roller 52 is driven by the roller 3.
The film is fed at substantially the same speed as 5, 37, and 51. On the other hand, when the second electromagnetic clutch 65 is turned on, the shaft 52a and the second drive shaft 66 are drivingly connected, and the discharge roller 52 feeds the film at substantially the same speed as the processor section 2. When the first and second electromagnetic clutches 60 and 65 are off, the discharge roller 52 is not driven and is stopped. In the above embodiment, the film feeding speed by the rollers 35, 37, and 51 is set to be faster than the film feeding speed of the processor section.

Returning to FIG. 1, 70 is a film detector, which is composed of an infrared lamp and an infrared detection light receiving element, and is turned on when a film is detected and outputs a "1" signal. In this embodiment, for example, a silver salt film is used as the microfilm. Since this silver halide film is not sensitive to infrared rays, it is not affected by the infrared rays of the film detector 70.

80 is a developing device, 81 and 82 are washers, and 83 is a dryer. The film F sent from the camera device 1 to the processor section 2 is fed by a drive roller 84, developed with a developer in a developing device 80, washed with water in water washers 81 and 82, and then heated with hot air in a dryer 83. After being dried, it is discharged onto a tray 86 by a discharge roller 85. Developing device 80, washing device 81, 8
Feed drums 90, 91, and 92 are arranged in each of the liquid tanks 2, and the film F is wound around each drum and automatically fed.

Discharge roller 85 and feed drums 90, 91, 92
are driven by the same drive source (not shown) and feed the film at the same speed.

Reference numeral 95 denotes a take-up reel used when winding the film without cutting it.

FIG. 6 shows a control circuit of the processor camera. In the figure, 100 is a shutter drive circuit which operates to open the shutter 31 in response to a detection signal when the document feed detector 25 detects a document. Reference numeral 101 denotes a film drive circuit that drives the drive source of the photographing section. When a drive signal is input, the film drive circuit drives the drive source and drives the capstan roller 3.
5. Rotate the feed roller 37 and supply roller 51 synchronously. Reference numeral 102 designates the second pulse generator described above, which generates pulses in conjunction with the rotation of the discharge roller 52. 105 is a first counter that adds and counts the signal input to input terminal D, and subtracts and counts the signal input to input terminal E. When the count reaches the first set value, it outputs a "1" signal from output terminal A. When the second set value becomes larger than the first set value, a "1" signal is output from the output terminal B, and when the third set value becomes much smaller than the first set value, the output terminal C outputs a "1" signal.
It outputs a "1" signal from the input terminal R, and is reset when a reset signal is input to the input terminal R.

106 is an alarm device such as a buzzer, and 107 is a second counter, which outputs a "1" signal from output terminal F when a predetermined count is reached, and is reset when a reset signal is input to input terminal R. 108 is a mono multi-circuit, and 109 is a cutter drive circuit, which operates to drive the cutter 45 and cut the film when a drive signal is input. Reference numeral 110 denotes a solenoid drive circuit, which operates to drive the solenoid 8 and supply the original 5 to the photographing section 15 when a drive signal is input. Reference numeral 111 indicates a mode selection switch, and the mode of the apparatus is changed by operating this switch. Reference numeral 115 indicates a document addition switch for selecting whether or not to add a document;
If it is desired to add a document when there are no more documents in the list, the switch is switched to select the addition of the document in advance, and when the switch is switched in this way, a "1" signal is generated from the switch.

Reference numeral 116 indicates an initial state setting circuit, which is activated when the power switch of the device is turned on and outputs a "1" signal to reset each circuit. 118 is the third
The counter outputs a "1" signal from the output terminal H when a predetermined count is reached, and is reset when a reset signal is input to the input terminal R. Reference numeral 119 is a monomulti circuit, and reference numeral 120 is a power switch which is manually operated and instructs to start development and turn on/off the power. Note that the development start command and the power on/off command may be operated by separate switches. 121 is a processor drive circuit which drives the drive source of the processor section 2 when a drive signal is input thereto. G ₁ , G ₂ ...G ₁₂ is an and gate, G ₂₀ , G ₂₁ ...
...G ₂₇ is an OR gate, V ₁ , V ₂ ... V ₆ is an inverter, F ₁ , F ₂ ... F ₆ is a flip-flop,
S of the flip-flop is a set input terminal, R is a reset input terminal, Q is a set output terminal, and Q is a reset output terminal.

Next, the operation of the above-mentioned processor camera will be explained. First, before starting shooting, roll the microfilm F between the capstan roller 35 and the pinch roller 3.
The film is set so that the leading edge of the film is sandwiched between a pair of feed rollers 37 through the film 6. Note that the mode selection switch 111 has a contact point a.
It is assumed that the document addition switch 115 has been switched to a mode in which the document is connected to a document, and the document addition switch 115 has been switched to add a document. Next, when the power switch 120 is turned on by manual operation, power is supplied to the entire apparatus, the lamp 22 is turned on, and the developer is heated. Further, the flip-flop F ₆ is set by the ON signal of the power switch, thereby driving the drive source of the processor section 2 via the processor drive circuit 121. Further, each counter and each flip-flop are reset by a reset signal from the initial state setting circuit 116. After the developer reaches a predetermined temperature, the container 6 of the automatic document feeder
When a large number of originals 5 are placed in the inside, the original detector 10 is turned on, and the ON signal from the original detector opens the AND gate _G2 , and the solenoid 8 is driven via the solenoid drive circuit 110 to detect one original. 5 is supplied to the photographing section 15. When the document feed detector 25 in the photographing section detects this document, the document feed rollers 16 and 19 are activated by the document detection signal from the document feed detector.
is driven. Further, the document detection signal from this detector opens the shutter 31 via the shutter drive circuit 100, and also opens the shutter 31 via the film drive circuit 101 to the capstan roller 35 and the feed roller 3.
7. The supply roller 51 rotates and the film F is fed. Therefore, the film F is fed in synchronization with the feeding of the original 5, and the image of the original is projected and exposed onto the film. Furthermore, the flip-flop _F1 is set by the document detection signal from the document feed detector 25.
Further, the document detection signal from the document feed detector 25 is input to the AND gate _G1 via the OR gate _G20 .
At this time, since there is no film at the film detection position of the film detector 70, the AND gate _G1 is opened, and the output signal of the AND gate _G1 turns on the first electromagnetic clutch 60, and the discharge roller 5
2 rotates. Therefore, like the rollers 35, 37, and 51, the discharge roller 52 rotates in conjunction with the photographing operation of the photographing section.

On the other hand, the drive source of the processor section 2 is driven via the processor drive circuit 121 by the set-side output signal of the flip-flop _F6 , which is set by turning on the power switch 120. ,9
1,92 rotates continuously.

The original documents 5 are sequentially supplied to the photographing section 15 by the automatic document feeder 3, and are sequentially recorded on a film. As the shooting progresses, the leading edge of the film fed by the feeding roller 37 moves forward, and the cutter 4 moves forward.
5, the film is caught by the supply roller 51, and then sent to the storage chamber by the supply roller 51, and after traveling along the film guide member 53 in the storage chamber, it is caught by the discharge roller 52, and the film is caught by the discharge roller 52. It is then discharged out of the storage room. When the leading edge of the film reaches the film detector 70, the film detector is turned on, and as the film detector is turned on, the output of the inverter _V3 becomes "0", so the AND gate _G1 is closed and the first electromagnetic clutch 60 is turned on. is turned off, and the discharge roller 52 stops. Therefore, since the supply roller 51 and the discharge roller 52 are driven in conjunction with the photographing operation of the photographing section, the leading edge of the film is captured by the discharge roller when the film is released into the storage chamber 50.
Even when the amount of film inside is at its lowest limit, the film located upstream of the ejection roller may be stretched and damaged, or slippage may occur between the ejection roller and the film, causing damage to the film. disappears. Furthermore, since the ejecting roller rotates in conjunction with the photographing operation, the film in the photographing section is not unnecessarily drawn out by the driving force of the ejecting roller. On the other hand, when the film detector 70 is turned on, the AND gate _G4 is opened every time the first pulse generator 55, which is linked to the rotation of the supply roller 51, generates a pulse, and this pulse is added and counted by the first counter 105. . Thereafter, as the shooting progresses, since the discharge roller 52 is stopped, a loop of film is formed in the storage chamber 50, and the amount of film in the storage chamber increases, and accordingly, the count value of the first counter 105 increases. To increase. FIG. 5 shows the change in the amount of film in the storage chamber over time. Time t ₀ indicates the time when the leading edge of the film is detected by the film detector 70, and time t 0 indicates the time when the leading edge of the film is detected by the film detector 70. ₀
Thereafter, the amount of film in the storage chamber increases. time
When the amount of film stored in the storage chamber reaches the first set amount A' at t ₁ , a "1" signal is output from the output terminal A of the first counter 105, and this signal activates the alarm 1.
06 is activated and flip-flop _F2 is set. Therefore, the user is notified by the buzzer of the alarm 106 or the like that a large amount of film is stored in the storage chamber.

By setting the flip-flop _F2 , the second electromagnetic clutch 65 is turned on via the OR gate _G21 , and the discharge roller 52 is drivingly coupled to the drive source of the processor section 2. Therefore, the discharge roller 52 feeds the film in the storage chamber to the processor section at the same speed as the rollers of the processor section 2. In conjunction with the rotation of this discharge roller 52, the second pulse generator 10
A pulse is generated from 2. At this time, since the film detector 70 is in the on state, the pulses from the second pulse generator are sent to the first counter ₁₀₅ through the AND gate G5, and are subtracted and counted by the first counter. The film discharged from the storage chamber is developed, fixed, washed and dried in the processor section 2, and then discharged onto the tray 86. After this, when the shooting operation continues, the amount of film discharged from the storage chamber is smaller than the amount of film supplied to the storage chamber, so at time _t2 , the amount of film in the storage chamber reaches the first set amount.
The second set amount B' is larger than A' (if the amount of film in the storage chamber is larger than this, problems such as damage to the film will occur), and a "1" signal is output from the output terminal B of the first counter 105. , this signal sets flip-flop _F3 . The setting of flip-flop _F5 closes AND gate _G2 ,
Solenoid 8 via solenoid drive circuit 110
is turned off, thereby stopping the supply of the original 5 and prohibiting the photographing operation. After this prohibition of photography, the amount of film in the storage room gradually decreases, and when it reaches the first set amount A' again at time _t5 , the first counter 1 again returns.
A "1" signal is output from the output terminal A of 05, and this signal resets the flip-flop _F3 .
As a result, AND gate _G2 opens, document supply begins again, and photographing work resumes. Thereafter, the operation between times t ₁ and _{t 5} is repeated.

When the document in the container 6 runs out at time _t4 (the document detector 10 turns off), the rollers 35, 37,
51 stops. However, since the discharge roller 52 continues to rotate, the amount of film in the storage chamber gradually decreases thereafter. Then, at time _t5 , the document is added to container 6, and the photographing operation is resumed.
The amount of film in the storage chamber increases, and the same operation as described above is repeated thereafter. However, the additional document must be placed in the container 6 before the amount of film in the storage chamber becomes less than the third set amount C'. If there is no original to be added after this (or even before the photographing is restarted), the original adding switch 115 is switched so that no original is added. Then, after the document in the container 6 is exhausted again and the document detector 10 is turned off, at time _t7 , the amount of film in the storage chamber becomes the third set amount C'( If the amount of film is less than this, the film will be stretched between the rollers 51 and 52, causing problems such as damage to the film), a "1" signal will be output from the output terminal C of the first counter, and this signal will be AND gate _G7 is opened, and flip-flop _F4 is set via OR gate _G24 . On the other hand, at time _t7 , the document addition switch 115 outputs a "0" signal, and the document feeding detector 25 outputs a "1" signal when it detects the first document fed into the photographing position. Since flip-flop _F1 is set and AND gate _G3 is open when document detector 10 is turned off, AND gate _G8 is opened when flip-flop _F4 is set.
is opened, the film drive circuit 101 is operated via the OR gate _G20 , the capstan roller 35, the feed roller 37, and the supply roller 51 are rotated, and the film F in the photographing section is idly fed.

Further, by opening the AND gate G ₈ , the AND gate G ₁₁ opens every time a pulse from the first pulse generator 55 is input to the AND gate G ₁₁ , and this pulse is counted by the second counter 107 . Immediately after the film is fed and the rear end of the final exposure area of the film passes the cutting position of the cutter 45, the second counter 107 reaches a predetermined value, and a "1" signal is output from its output terminal F. This signal activates the mono multi-circuit 108, and the output signal of the mono multi-circuit 108 drives the cutter 45 via the cutter drive circuit 109, thereby cutting the film. The exposed areas of the film are thus separated from the unexposed areas of the film and all relevant document information is recorded on a single piece of film.
The second counter 107 is set so as to output a "1" signal after the rear end of the final photographing area of the film passes the cutting position of the cutter 45.

On the other hand, the output signal of the monomulti circuit 108 opens the OR gate _G26 and resets the flip-flop _F4 . Therefore, AND gate G ₈ is closed,
The capstan roller 35, feed roller 37, and supply roller 51 stop, and the film is no longer fed idly.

The cut film pieces are continuously sent to the processor section 2 by the discharge roller 52, and when the trailing end of the film pieces, that is, the cut portion of the film pieces passes the film detector 70, the film detector 70
is turned off. When the detector 70 is turned off, the AND gate G ₆ opens every time a pulse from the second pulse generator 102 is input to the AND gate G ₆ , and this pulse is counted by the third counter 118 . The cut film pieces fed into the processor section are fed by the drive roller of the processor section.
When the rear end of this film piece passes the discharge roller 85, the count value of the third counter 118 reaches a predetermined value and a "1" signal is output from the output terminal H. This signal activates the monomulti circuit 119. , an OR gate is established by the output signal of the mono multi-circuit 119.
_G25 is opened and each circuit is set to the state before the start of photography. Thereafter, when another unit of original is placed in the container 6, photography is automatically performed in the same manner as described above, and information of one unit is recorded on another piece of film. The third counter 118 is set to output a "1" signal after the rear end of the cut film passes the discharge roller 85.

Next, a case will be described in which the mode selection switch 111 is connected to contact b to select a mode in which photographing is performed while the photographing operation is interrupted for a long time.

After the shooting starts, the amount of film in the storage chamber 50 increases as the shooting progresses, as described above, and when the amount of film reaches the first set amount A', "1" is output from the output terminal A of the first counter 105. Although the signal is output and the alarm 106 is activated, the second electromagnetic clutch 65 is not activated and the discharge roller 52 remains stopped. Therefore, the film is not fed to the processor section. After that, when shooting continues, when the amount of film in the storage chamber reaches the second set value B', a signal "1" is output from the output terminal B of the first counter 105, and this signal causes the document to be fed. will be stopped and photography will be prohibited.

After that, the amount of film in the room remains constant without increasing or decreasing. Therefore, the document can be photographed at arbitrary time intervals from the start of photographing until the amount of film in the storage chamber reaches the second set amount B', and photographing can be performed intermittently at long intervals. Even if it happens, there will be no problem.

After this, when the mode selection switch is connected to contact a and a mode is selected in which photography is performed without interrupting photography for a long time, as is clear from the above explanation, the amount of film in the storage chamber 50 is set to the first set amount A. ', the discharge roller 52 rotates and the film in the storage chamber is fed to the processor section. Since the subsequent operations are the same as those described above, the explanation will be omitted. Therefore, if you need to interrupt the shooting process to collect or organize originals before starting the shooting process, you can select the mode by operating the mode selection switch to avoid any hindrances. You can do shooting work without having to worry about it.

Next, a case will be described in which the power switch 120 is switched from on to off.

Now, after starting the photographing operation, when the photographed film has not yet been fed into the processor section, there is no original in the container 6, and the photographing operation is completed, and when the power switch 120 is turned off, the inverter V ₆ is turned off.
Since the output becomes "1", the AND gate _G10 is opened and the No. 2 clutch 65 is turned on, the discharge roller 52 is rotated and the film in the storage chamber is sent to the processor section. On the other hand, flip-flop _F4 is set by opening AND gate _G10 , which opens AND gate _G8 , and after that, the film is fed a predetermined length in the same way as described above, and then the film is cut. When the rear end of the cut film piece passes the discharge roller 85, the power supply to all the devices is cut off, and the power to all the devices is cut off. Therefore, the switch 120 is used not only as a power supply and stop command switch but also as a development start command switch. Incidentally, the film may be fed immediately when the power switch is turned off. Mechanisms for maintaining power supply to the entire device for a certain period of time after the power switch is turned off are known.
For example, a timer linked to a power switch is used to maintain power supply for a certain period of time. With the above configuration, the mode selection switch 11
When recording information on a single film by switching contact 1 to connect contact b, the user must switch 120 to
As long as you don't manipulate it, there is no problem even if you interrupt that part for a long time, and all the information can be stored on a single film of any length. Therefore, since mutually related information can be recorded on a single film, there is no need for editing later. Further, it is possible to obtain a film piece of any length on which all information is recorded within the amount of film that can be stored in the storage chamber, and it is possible to record one unit of desired information on the same film.

In the present invention, the long sheet is not limited to microfilm, and various known recording sheets can be used, and the developing method is not limited to the embodiments, and any known developing method can be applied. .

The timing at which the sheets in the storage chamber are started to be fed to the processing section by operating the switch 120 is not limited to the above embodiment, and the timing at which sheets in the storage chamber are started to be fed to the processing section is not limited to the above embodiment, but after other predetermined operations are performed in conjunction with the operation of the switch, the sheets are fed to the processing section. Of course, it is also possible to start feeding.

As described above, according to the present invention, while an image is being recorded on one sheet, even if there is a portion that has already been recorded, the user may operate the switch or press the mode selection switch 111 as a contact point. Since the development of that part is not performed unless you switch to the first mode connected to can be accommodated. Therefore, since mutually related information can be recorded on a single sheet, there is no need for editing later. Also, even if the storage room capacity is limited, images can be recorded on continuous sheets longer than the maximum length of sheets that can be stored in the storage room, so that after the storage room is full of recorded sheets, It is also possible to record additional images on a continuous sheet without cutting the sheet. moreover,
If you want to record a large amount of documents continuously, switch to the first mode, if you want to record intermittently with interruptions, switch to the second mode, or if you want to record a small amount of documents, by operating the operation switch. Development processing can be performed at an appropriate time depending on the amount of documents to be recorded or the progress of recording work.
