Below, contact Fig. 3 a-14 is illustrated the operation of duplicating machine by different situations.
(1) initial stage operation:
Warming-up process comprises the temperature that improves development roller 18, and this process is carried out when the power supply lamp of duplicating machine 1 is opened.And, " please wait for " at this moment on the startup display 52d that is presented at literal plate 52.When warming-up process is finished, the color change of the indicator of printed switches (not illustrating), and the information of " preparing to duplicate " is presented on the enlightenment display 52d as shown in Figure 1.During this holding state, the operation of bond switching on the pending guidance panel 51 such as CPU71 (n1 step among Fig. 3 a).If pressed approval key 53 during this standby, then various functions just place as shown in figure 14 specific function mode (specific function mode will in following the 6th explanation) to be increased to time rating (n6-n9 step) up to timer.If at this moment there is not function setting, then " No FUNCT10N SETTINGS " printed words are presented on the display 52d.
(2) basic copying operation:
If depress printed switches (n10 step) when duplicating machine 1 is in the standby form, then main motor M1 is driven (n11 step), and 79 startings (n12 step) of paper feed clutch coupling.Therefore, paper from the drainage area towards counting roller 12 feedings.In the given time, the CD-ROM drive motor of optical facilities is actuated to the rotational plane mirror, and optical devices 3 just begin the original image on the scan manuscript worktable 2.In addition, in official hour, counting clutch coupling 80 just begins starting, and paper is directed to the duplicating treatment region.In duplicating treatment region, be subjected on the surface of photoconductor drum 4 sending from optical devices 3, through the catoptrical irradiation of original copy reflection, Xing Cheng Static electricity sub-image, and this sub-image obtains developing by developing apparatus 7.Like this, the developed image that forms on photoconductor drum 4 surfaces just is transferred on the surface of paper.
When optical devices 3 arrived paper terminal, optical facilities CD-ROM drive motor M2 was activated and makes level crossing go back to (n15 and n16 step).Like this, optical devices 3 rotate in opposite direction, and are placed stop position again.Moreover paper is conducted through developing roller 18 and arrives distributor mechanisms 21 by paper delivery passage 20 from the duplicating treatment region by conveying belt 17.So when finishing paper and send (n17 step), the poke that is placed in the counter S on the specific address of RAM73 just reduces (n18 step), the process that repeats n11 to the n18 step until the poke of counter S become 0(go on foot to n11 by n19 go on foot).At the duplicating number of times that will be carried out by operation keyboard (not illustrating) input, and when going on record after the input of duplicating number of times, then counter S is controlling the number of times that will be copied.Whenever do once and duplicate, counter S just writes down.Therefore, be 0 by the step that repeats n11 to n18 up to the poke of counter.The duplicating process can be according to being carried out continuously by the duplicating number of times that the operator imported.
(3) reproduction density control method:
When handling density selector switch key 60 in holding state (n2 step), display panel 52 just presents situation as shown in Figure 4.As shown in Figure 4, the scale 64 of density is presented at the center of display panel 52, and density rating guiding card 63 be displayed on grade adjusting key 56,57 and 58 corresponding positions on.Therefore, grade adjusting key 56,57 and 58 input are waited in this state.If operation grade adjusting key 57 forms with selected shadow tone, then density scale 64 just changes color so that point out to have selected a kind of half tone original, for example adjusting of the graph coloring quality of photograph (n22 and n26 step).If operation increases grade adjusting key 58, then the indicating value of density scale 64 increases (n23 and n27 step), and if the adjusting key 56 that operation downgrades, then the indicating value of density scale 64 descends (n24 and n28 step).If operating key is another key, then program is got back to the n2 step (n25 step).Therefore, when operational densities selector switch key 60, display panel 52 just is placed in the manual mode adjustment state, and can be accepted by the adjusting of the mode of operator one control.
(4) duplicate the ratio establishing method:
If the operating key in the standby form is to duplicate the step than setting key 59(n3), then display panel 52 presents state shown in Figure 5 (n31 step).When handle duplicating than setting key 59, duplicate the center that just is presented at display panel 52 than scale 66, and regulate class 65 just be presented at grade adjusting key 56,57 and 58 corresponding positions on.If in this case, operation scale standard is duplicated the grade adjusting key 57 of mode, and ratio is duplicated in then fixing amplification, and for example A4 is to B4, or drawdown ratio, to B5, just one after the other shown (n32 step and n36 go on foot) as A4.Moreover, if the operation adjusting key 58 of upgrading duplicates than just increasing (n33 step and n37 step), and if the operation adjusting key 56 that downgrades then duplicates size than reducing (n34 step and n38 go on foot).Be presented at duplicating than scale 66 with duplicate owing to handle duplicating ratio that grade adjusting key 56,57 and 58 changed than among the indicator 52c.Therefore, when operation was duplicated than adjusting key 59, display panel 52 was adjusted to state shown in Figure 5, just can obtain the duplicating ratio of being set by the operator.
(5) double-sided copying method
If the key of operating when standby is two-sided mode selector key 61, then need check to determine whether case cover 23 shown in Figure 2 and that include two-way device has installed (in Fig. 3 d, going on foot the n41 step that jumps) from n4.If two-way device is not loaded onto, then check to confirm whether RADF30 has installed (n42 step).If two-way device and RADF30 do not install, then by timer T counting during this period of time in display panel 52 demonstrate information shown in Figure 62, return to holding state (n45 and n42 go on foot for n43, n44) then.
Timer T is installed in and occupies a special address area among the RAM73, and gate time is approximately 3 to 5 seconds.If just load onto RADF30, then display panel 52 demonstrates the information (n52 step) shown in Fig. 6 F, forms such mode, and promptly the image of two-sided original only is copied the one side (n53 step) of paper.Like this, on single of the paper that places image on the two sides, front and back of the two-sided original 31 on the copyholder 32 just to be duplicated respectively to separate.
If double-sided device has been loaded onto, then to check exist (the n46 step) of RADF30.If RADF30 does not load onto, then to check whether loaded onto automatic document feeder (calling ADF in the following text, not shown in the figures) (n47 step).This ADF from original copy supplying position feeding original copy, by document board 2, directly arrives the original copy launching position with a direction.It can not be delivered to the original copy upset on the document board 2 as RADF30 again.If such ADF does not load onto, then display panel 52 demonstrates the information shown in Fig. 6 d, and will the image that the operator is placed on the original copy on the document board 2 be duplicated on the two sides, front and back of copy paper.In this case, duplicating process is to finish when operating printed switches by the operator.Especially, if the operator operates printed switches after being placed on original copy on the document board 2 again, then copy paper is just sent from the paper delivery district.After the duplicating process was finished, this paper was directed to intermediate bracket 26.When the operator put original copy again and pushes printed switches once more, this paper just led by a pair transfer passage 29 from middle carriage 26 and duplicates treatment region, and the image of two original copys is copied on former and later two faces of a copy paper like this.
If two-way device and ADF load onto, display panel 52 just demonstrates the information shown in Fig. 6 c, and waits for that the number of pages that the operator imports original copy is even number or the explanation of odd number (n49 and n50 step).If two-way device and ADF load onto, then the image of single face original copy is just duplicated on the two sides of copy paper automatically and continuously.In this case, if the number of single face original copy is an even number, then since first copy paper, copy paper is directed to intermediate bracket 26.If single face original copy number is an odd number, then duplicate the copy paper of first original image and send as single-sided copying, and since second copy paper with the copy paper intermediate bracket 26 that leads.Therefore, according to the data of the duplicating number of operator input, the image of two single face original copys just is copied the two sides of this copy paper.
If as shown in Figure 2, two-way device and RADF are loaded onto, and then display panel 52 just demonstrates the information shown in Fig. 6 b (n54 step).By the selection of operator to duplicating, can expect to obtain the single face original copy is duplicated the mode on the two sides of copy paper, the image of two-sided original duplicates the mode on the two sides of copy paper, or the image of two-sided original duplicates the mode of the single face of the copy paper that separates.At this moment, the duplicating mode is selected by operation grade adjusting key 56, and this selection is imported by operation grade adjusting key 57.If selected the single face original copy is duplicated the double-sided copying mode of copy paper, then demonstrate the content (n55 and n49 step) shown in Fig. 6 c, if selected the image of two-sided original is duplicated the mode of the single face of the copy paper that separates, then demonstrate the content shown in Fig. 6 f (n59 and n52 step).Moreover if select two-sided original is duplicated the mode on copy paper two sides, then display panel 52 demonstrates the information shown in Fig. 6 e (n57 step), and has set and will have been duplicated the mode on copy paper two sides by the image of two-sided original.
Therefore, if operated two-sided mode selector key 61, then will connect other devices to the inspection of duplicating machine, display panel 52 then demonstrates and the corresponding information of duplicating machine situation.Thus, the operator just may be with finishing double-sided copying with the corresponding mode of duplicating machine situation.

(ⅲ) mapborder move mode
The mapborder move mode is chosen such that promptly the information that just in time demonstrates Fig. 8 a when display panel 52, when wherein pointing out the mapborder move mode with a thick line, makes " on/off " switch be in " on " state by the starting of key 57.If requiring under the shown condition of Fig. 8 a has the edge reset mode, then make an arrow switch activated secondary by initiate key 56, indicate edge reset mode by thickness this moment.Then, make " on/off " switch be in " on " by initiate key 57.In this way, just can be selected in the operation of one of relevant function shown in centre one row of display panel 52.
After adjusting subroutine (Fig. 3 f-1), if select mapborder move mode (n81-1 step) with said method, then display panel 52 just demonstrates the information shown in Fig. 9 a (n82 step) in a period of time that timer limited.Then demonstrate the information shown in Fig. 9 b (n84 step).Then,, just demonstrate the information shown in Fig. 9 c, and wait the adjustment (n85 and n87 step) of mapborder by operation specific function mode key 62.This moment, the mapborder character showed with the form of high brightness contrast such shown in Fig. 9 c, made its easy affirmation select the mapborder locomotive function.If from this state, it is adjusting key at this moment that the operation grade is adjusted key 58().When the information that demonstrates shown in Fig. 9 d, just can adjust key 56 and 58 preceding and mapborder amount of movement that duplicate later are adjusted to the value (n89 and n90 step) of any requirement with grade.When this adjustment is finished, again grade is adjusted key 57(at this moment for finishing " END " key) regulate.When regulating grade adjustment key 57, in the time of timer T timing, display panel 52 just demonstrates the information shown in Fig. 9 e.Then, display panel 52 demonstrates the information shown in Fig. 9 b.So the process of adjusting subroutine finishes.After this, return to the standby mode.Therefore, when selecting the mapborder locomotive function, just can carry out the adjustment and the input of mapborder amount of movement by the operation of specific function mode key 62.
(ⅳ) mode of other specific function
If after adjusting subroutine, select move/to center function (Fig. 3 f-2), then display panel 52 demonstrates the information (n96 shown in Figure 11 a to 11f in succession, n107, n109, n103 and n105 step), and the input (n100 step) of selection of the function that centers (n47 step) or amount of movement will be approved.
Moreover, if after adjusting subroutine, selected to cut/shielding function (Fig. 3 f-3), then display panel 52 demonstrates the information (n111 shown in Figure 10 a to 10g in succession, n116, n119, n121, n127, n126 and n129), and cut/input (n117, n122 step) of shielding function area data that adjustment requires will be approved.
And if select cover page to place function (Fig. 3 f-4), display panel 52 demonstrates information shown in Figure 12 a to 12d (n131, n138 and n137 step) in succession, so that can import the data (n132 step) of placing preceding cover page and/or back cover page.And, if requirement is arranged, can duplicate (n139 step) at preceding cover page.
In addition, if select any books are duplicated the function of (once arranging two duplicating), function or superposition function (Fig. 3 f-5) are removed in the edge, and then display panel 52 demonstrates Figure 12 e respectively, the information of 12f or 12g (n143, n148 or n152 step).Then, display panel 52 demonstrates the information shown in Figure 12 d (n145, n150 or n154 step), and the process of adjusting subroutine finishes.After this, return to the standby mode.
(ⅴ) subroutine in the options button
If at the input of the specific function program shown in Fig. 3 f manipulate approval key 53, then an insertion program shown in Fig. 3 g is implemented.In particular, timer T in selected time display panel 52 just demonstrate as shown in figure 14 content.This will make the operator assert density at that time easily and duplicate than arranging.
Need point out that when not being shown in device among the figure and receiving on the duplicating machine 1, the present invention can be with similar method, and selects those function operations except that top the description.And, when apparatus of the present invention consign to the user, RADF or other Unit Installation condition are write nonvolatil storer, so that can effective function just be revealed during having only those that function selecting and arrangement are arranged, or the detection to these Unit Installation situations becomes possibility when every kind of function is implemented.
In an imaging device according to the present invention, when the treatment of picture function was transfused to and sets, the operator can confirm the function that he is selected, also may look for the image processing function relevant with its desired function.Therefore, can simplify the process of input and setting image processing function, thereby reduce the needed time of said process.
(7) improve
With reference to Figure 15 a and 15b, they are that procedure chart shown in Fig. 3 e is through improved procedure chart.
When operation specific function mode key 62, be the number of times of counting grade adjusting key 58 operations, the poke of counter K is at first placed the 1(n201 step), determine that then cover page places function and whether be set (n202 step).If no, then further determine to cut/whether shielding function be arranged (n203 step).If no, then display panel 52 demonstrates the information shown in Figure 16 a.If cover page places function and cut/and shielding function all arranges, and then display panel 52 just demonstrates the information shown in Figure 16 a-1 (n204 step).Then, realize the above-mentioned subroutine adjustment relevant (n206 step), and check particular form key 62 with Fig. 3 f.If particular form key 62 is not pressed, then program proceeds to the n208 step.If at this stages operating the grade of the page key that is equivalent to be right after adjust the key 58(n208 step), then counter K rises in value (n209 step) at once, and checks the poke (n210 step) of counter K at once.If the poke of counter K is 3, then check whether arranged the double-sided copying function, books duplicate (once arranging two pages of duplicating) function, or the superposition copy function.If these functions all are not arranged, then display panel 52 just demonstrates Figure 16 b 3Shown information (n220 step).If the poke of counter K is 3, and double copies capability, superposition copy function or books duplicate (once arranging two pages of duplicating) function and all are arranged, and then display panel 52 demonstrates the information shown in Figure 16 c (n217 step).Afterwards, this program can reenter the adjusting subroutine.If the poke of counter K is the 4(n210 step), then program is got back to the n210 step.
If counter K poke is 2, just check whether cover page placement function has arranged (n221 step), whether double copies capability has arranged (n223 step), or books duplicate (once arranging two pages of duplicating) function, or double copies capability, then display panel 52 demonstrates the information shown in Fig. 1 bb1 (n222 step).If arranged books duplicating (once arranging two pages of duplicating) function, then display panel 52 demonstrates Figure 16 b 2Shown in information (n225 step).In addition, if cover page places, double-sided copying, or books duplicate (once arranging two pages of duplicating) function and all are not arranged, and then display panel 52 just demonstrates information shown in Figure 16 b (n226 step).
So if operated specific function mode key 62, then display panel 52 just demonstrates Figure 16 a, 16a 1, 16b, 16b 1, 16b 2Or the information shown in the 16c.For example, if do not arrange any function, when then operating grade adjusting key 58, display panel 52 just demonstrates Figure 16 a at every turn, information shown in 16b or the 16c.As Figure 16 a, when the content of 16b and 16c was revealed, the operator can be by arranging required specific function to the operation of grade key 56,57.Figure 16 a content is equivalent to for duplicating the original copy that bookbinding is got up, for example function that book is implemented.The content of Figure 16 b is equivalent to be the desired function of input picture part scope.Because relevant function is revealed together, then the operator just might more easily select the function that needs enforcement.
According to this improvement, aforesaid arrangement and function are stored among the RAM73 one not with on the address, and can not show on display panel 52 with the function that another function that has been arranged is implemented together simultaneously.
Because aforesaid process, impracticable function is not that display panel 52 is shown, thereby makes the operator can not import or arrange a kind of function that can not implement mistakenly.
As shown in figure 17, consider other additional function, for example use staple, punching, Z-folded/twofold, mark/mark etc., these functions can still can not be used simultaneously, all showed in principle.
According to the present invention, in a device with staple, during image processing function input, only have those can be relevant with those in groups, be transfused to and image processing function that the image processing function that arranges is implemented simultaneously could show in the viewing area. And those can not effective image processing function, does not show during the image processing function input. Therefore, the operator can not select those impracticable functions. So after the function input was finished, display floater 52 can not show by effective image processing function for the operator points out those, and the operator does not just have the sensation that disappointment falls through. And, arrange relevant data entry program just can not waste with image processing function, therefore arrange the required time just to shorten for input.
And in a kind of imaging device according to the present invention, when importing and arranging the image processing function phase to operate a special enter key at a display screen, the function of importing and arranging at another display screen is displayed on the viewing area. Like this, the operator just can easily assert prearranged image processing function on another display screen, thereby can prevent the input of impracticable image processing function.
Although the present invention has also done comprehensive explanation in conjunction with the embodiments with reference to accompanying drawing, it should be noted that it is apparent making for a person skilled in the art various changes and improvements. Such improvement and variation will be considered as included in of the present invention by among the dependent claims limited range, unless they depart from the content of claim.
