The various operations of HDD209 storage such as print job etc. and will be by the data of various operation processing etc.The view data that HDD209 storage is for example compressed by compression/decompression unit 210.Controller unit 205 processing examples are as being stored in the print job in HDD209 via scanner unit 201 or exterior I/F202.Controller unit 205 is according to type face order, processed in sequence view data, and when detecting while having discharged page from equipment, delete this view data from HDD209.In the time that controller unit 205 detects all view data of having deleted all type faces, delete print job from HDD209.Controller unit 205 can also control, via exterior I/F202, these view data are sent to external equipment.Compression/decompression unit 210, by the various compression methods such as JBIG and JPEG etc., is carried out compression/decompression processes to the view data being stored in RAM208 and HDD209.
Fig. 3 is the figure that near structure transport path in print system 10 is shown.Carry out the situation of copying operation with reference to figure 3 explanations.In Fig. 3, at the subsequent stage of printing device 100, as sheet processing apparatus 200, perfrct binding equipment 200a, large capacity stacker 200b and saddle stitching equipment 200c are connected.Suppose that saddle stitching equipment 200c is DFD (original copy collating unit) reorganizer.DFD reorganizer is the reorganizer that can be provided by supplier's the supplier (third party) who is different from printing device 100.
Be configured in the auto document feeder (ADF) 301 in scanner unit 201, start successively separately user from first thin slice and be placed on the multiple original copy thin slices original copy pallet, and be delivered to glass document board.Reading unit 302 is by using CCD to read the image that is transported to the original copy on glass document board, thus image data generating.Controller unit 205 is stored in generated view data in the storage area such as RAM208 or HDD209 etc.
The print object view data being temporarily stored in RAM208 or HDD209 is sent to printer unit 203, and converts thereof into yellow (Y), magenta (M), cyan (C) and black (K) four looks printing laser beams by laser printing unit (not shown).The Electrifier frame, photoreceptor that laser beam irradiation is corresponding with each color, thus the electrostatic latent image corresponding with each color formed.Utilize the toner of four colors that provide from toner Cartridge to carry out toner development, and the toner image after visual is transferred to intermediate transfer belt 305 from Electrifier frame, photoreceptor temporarily.
Discharging baffle plate 309 is configured to swing and to specify thin slice throughput direction around swinging axle.In the time swinging and be fixed on this position on the clockwise direction of discharge baffle plate 309 at Fig. 3, remain on and transversely carry the thin slice of discharging from fixation unit 308, and be delivered to the perfrct binding equipment 200a as a sheet processing apparatus 200 by distributing roller 310.Carrying out thus one side prints.
In the time of print image on thin slice two-sided, discharge baffle plate 309 and swing and be fixed on this position with the counter clockwise direction of Fig. 3.The direction of advance of the thin slice of discharging from fixation unit 308 is changed to downwards, and thin slice is fed to two-sided supply unit.Two-sided supply unit comprises reversion baffle plate 311, reverse roll 312, reversion guide rail 313 and double-deck pallet 314.Reversion baffle plate 311 swings around swinging axle, and specifies thin slice throughput direction.In the time carrying out duplex printing, controller unit 205 is controlled with the counter clockwise direction of Fig. 3 and is swung reversion baffle plate 311, and via reverse roll 312, the thin slice of having printed image on first surface (front) is fed to reversion guide rail 313.Then, clamp under the state of rear end of thin slice at the reverse roll at the population place that is configured in reversion guide rail, stop reverse roll temporarily.Subsequently, reversion baffle plate 311 swings with the clockwise direction of Fig. 3, and the reverse roll that rotates backward.Therefore after thin slice is commutated to carry to make the rear end and front end exchange of thin slice, thin slice can be delivered to double-deck pallet 314.Thin slice is remained on double-deck pallet 314 temporarily, and by feed rolls 315 again, it is fed to registration roller 306 again.Now, to face toward the state of intermediate transfer belt 305 by the surface of the toner of the transfer process institute transfer printing for first surface relative second (back side) with carrying, carry thin slice.Identical with the transfer process for first surface, on second of thin slice, form image.After the image forming on to second at thin slice at fixation unit 308 carries out photographic fixing, by distributing roller 310, the thin slice of load image is delivered to the perfrct binding equipment 200a as a sheet processing apparatus 200.Carry out thus duplex printing.
According to the setting of printing of accepting via operating unit 204, the thin slice of having printed image by printing device 100 on single or double is optionally delivered to perfrct binding equipment 200a, large capacity stacker 200b or saddle stitching equipment 200c.For example, in the time being configured to carry out perfrct binding, thin slice is transported to perfrct binding equipment 200a, processes, and be discharged to binding thing deliverying unit 331 through bookbinding.In bookbinding is processed, as required, will multiple thin slices of image be printed thereon by printing device 100 with packaging together from the thin slice of 332 feedings of inserter and bind.Printed material after bookbinding is accumulated on binding thing deliverying unit 331.In the time being configured to carry out the stacking processing of large capacity, by the thin slice transport path 330 of perfrct binding equipment 200a, the thin slice of printing device 100 having been printed to image is thereon delivered to large capacity stacker 200b.Large capacity stacker 200b is expelled to received thin slice to exit pallet 335 or stackable unit 334.
When being provided in when carrying out thin slice in saddle stitching equipment 200c and processing, by thin slice transport path 330 and the thin slice transport path 333 of each equipment, the thin slice after printing device 100 is printed is delivered to saddle stitching equipment 200c.According to the setting of accepting via the operating unit 336 of saddle stitching equipment 200c, determine that saddle stitching equipment 200c will be to the processing of received thin slice execution or the discharge destination of thin slice.
For example, when be arranged to carry out staple processing by operating unit 336, saddle stitching equipment 200c is accumulated in received thin slice on intermediate tray.In the time having prepared to carry out the thin slice bundle of staple on intermediate tray, staple equipment 200c is to thin slice Shu Jinhang staple, and is expelled to deliverying unit 338.When be arranged to carry out saddle stitching processing by operating unit 336, saddle stitching equipment 200c carries out saddle stitching processing to received thin slice, and is expelled to deliverying unit 339.In the time not selecting thin slice to process by operating unit 336, saddle stitching equipment 200c, in the case of received thin slice not being carried out any processing, is expelled to deliverying unit 337.
As mentioned above, print system 10 is carried out the processing such as thin slice feeding, printing, each reprocessing and discharge etc.Note, print system 10 comprises the thin slice detecting sensor on the thin slice transport path of printing device 100, perfrct binding equipment 200a, large capacity stacker 200b and saddle stitching equipment 200c.For example, thin slice detecting sensor is configured in breakout and the joint between entrance and exit and the thin slice transport path of each equipment.In Fig. 3, triangular marker represents the example of the position that configures thin slice detecting sensor, and A～Q represents thin slice detecting sensor.By detecting from the signal of thin slice detecting sensor A～L, controller unit 205 detects whether have the thin slice carried by thin slice transport path and the position of thin slice.
But, controller unit 205 needn't direct-detection from the signal of thin slice detecting sensor M～Q, and the control unit of saddle stitching equipment 200c (for example, CPU) detects these signals.According to detected signal, the control unit of saddle stitching equipment 200c is the controller unit 205 to printing device 100 by the state information notification of saddle stitching equipment 200c.
For example, in the time continuing to detect that signal scheduled time from particular sheet detecting sensor is above, the control unit of controller unit 205 or saddle stitching equipment 200c is judged as in the position corresponding with the transducer that continues to send this signal the sluggish jam of thin slice has occurred.Alternatively, after even more than the scheduled time, while all not passing through next thin slice detecting sensor through the thin slice of particular sheet detecting sensor, the control unit of controller unit 205 or saddle stitching equipment 200c is judged as the sluggish jam of thin slice has occurred between these thin slice detecting sensors.
When controller unit 205 detects that while having there is the sluggish jam of thin slice on the thin slice transport path in printing device, it interrupts printing, and according to the signal from thin slice detecting sensor, the position of the thin slice that demonstration will remove with remove process as guidance.Alternatively, when the control unit of saddle stitching equipment 200c detects while having there is the sluggish jam of thin slice on the thin slice transport path in saddle stitching equipment 200c, its position that shows the thin slice that will remove on operating unit 336 with remove process as guidance.In addition, the control unit of saddle stitching equipment 200c is notified this abnormal state information to the controller unit 205 of printing device.The abnormal state information now notified only represents to have occurred fault, and does not represent the details of the fault relevant with the position that sluggish jam occurs in saddle stitching equipment 200c.In the time receiving abnormal state information from saddle stitching equipment 200c, controller unit 205 is display message on the display unit of operating unit 204, with the operating unit 336 with reference to saddle stitching equipment 200c.The operating unit 336 of saddle stitching equipment 200c shows the detailed trouble information of sluggish jam.
According to the demonstration on operating unit 204 or operating unit 336, user can grasp the thin slice that will remove residing position in print system 10.According to shown guidance, user opens the door of unit, and removes thin slice from thin slice transport path.User, after having removed all thin slices, sends to print via operating unit 204 and restarts instruction.In the time that acceptance printing restarts to indicate, controller unit 205 restarts to print.
As the thin slice feeding transducer corresponding with each thin slice supply port, at each thin slice feed unit,, the thin slice supply port place of thin slice feeding box 317 and 318, thin slice feeding casket 319 and hand feed pallet 320 configuration thin slice detecting sensor A-1, A-2, A-3 and A-4.These thin slice feeding transducers detect the thin slice of institute's feeding, and send thin slice detection signal to controller unit 205.Controller unit 205, according to from the received thin slice detection signal of thin slice feeding transducer, is counted the quantity of the thin slice from each thin slice feed unit institute feeding.Controller unit 205 remains on this count value in RAM208.Therefore, controller unit 205 can the term of execution rest in operation in from the quantity of the thin slice of each thin slice feed unit institute feeding.
As printing device 100, the present embodiment has illustrated 4D (drum) color M FP.But printing device 100 is not limited to this structure, and can be monochromatic MFP or 1D (drum) color M FP.For print job, replace the view data from scanner unit 201, use via the received print data of exterior I/F202.Other points are identical with copying operation.
The following describes in saddle stitching equipment 200c the processing while there is the fault such as sluggish jam etc.Fig. 5 is the flow chart that is illustrated in the processing procedure while breaking down in saddle stitching equipment 200c.Controller unit 205 by printing device 100 is read control program and carries out this control program and realize each processing shown in Fig. 5 from ROM207.
First,, at step S501, controller unit 205 judges whether that printing device 10 or the sheet processing apparatus 200 from print system 10 received signalling trouble.Receive signalling trouble if controller unit 205 is judged as, processed and enter step S502.The processing of repeating step S501, has received signalling trouble until be judged as.Then,, at step S502, controller unit 205 judges in the time receiving this signalling trouble, whether to carry out print processing.Do not carry out printing if controller unit 205 is judged as, processing and enter step S511, carrying out printing if be judged as, entering step S503.
The processing of description of step S511 and later step.At step S511, controller unit 205 has judged whether to eliminate all factors of received signalling trouble.If controller unit 205 is judged as all factors of having eliminated signalling trouble, processes and enter step S513.If at least one factor of signalling trouble detected, process and enter step S512.At step S512, controller unit 205 obtains detected failure notification message, and failure notification message is presented on the display unit of operating unit 204.After this, process and be back to step S511.If detected failure notification message represents the fault in saddle stitching equipment 200c, ejection warning picture 601 is as shown in Figure 6 to cause user's attention.More specifically, as shown in Figure 6, display list is shown in the message that fault has occurred in saddle stitching equipment 200c, to point out user to check in detail the operating unit 336 of saddle stitching equipment 200c.At step S513, on the display of controller unit 205 end operation unit 204, the demonstration of shown failure notification message and the information relevant with recovery process, makes recovering state to printable state, and finishes the processing of Fig. 5.
